Overview

The diagnosis of parathyroid cancer is made when if any of the following 5 diagnostic criteria are met: hypercalcemia greater than 14 milligrams per deciliter, serum parathyroid hormone levels greater than twice that of normal, a palpable cervical mass in a hypercalcemic patient, unilateral vocal cord paralysis with hypercalcemia, and concomitant renal and skeletal disease observed in a patient with a markedly elevated serum parathyroid hormone.[1]
