Clinical suspicion of a parathyroid cancer, therefore, should lead the surgeon to an aggressive initial operative approach as a complete resection of all malignant tissue at the time of initial surgery allows for the greatest likelihood of a cure. We report a case of parathyroid carcinoma induced parathyroid crisis with development of hungry bone syndrome in the postoperative period. ER -
