Differentiating Parathyroid cancer from other Diseases

• Granulomatous disease (tuberculosis, sarcoidosis).
• Renal disease.
• Immobility.
• Malignancy (esp. squamous cell carcinoma, plasmacytoma).
• Endocrine (primary hyperparathyroidism, tertiary hyperparathyroidism, familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (FHH)).
• Drugs (thiazides)
