AB Parathyroid  carcinoma  is  a  rare  malignant  neoplasm  of  the  parathyroid  causing  parathyroid  hormone  (PTH)–dependent  hypercalcemia.  Diagnosis  is  difficult  so  a  high  level  of  suspicion  must  be  maintained,  particularly  in  patients  with  markedly  elevated  serum  calcium  levels,  local  symptoms,  and  elevated  PTH  levels.  Presence  of  these  or  clinical  suspicion  at  surgery  should  allow  consideration  for  a  more  aggressive  surgical  resection  at  the  initial  surgery.  In  this  chapter  we  review  current  information  on  genetics  and  features  of  parathyroid  carcinoma,  and  treatment  options  in  the  perioperative  period.
