Overview
The hallmark of parathyroid cancer is neck mass. A positive history of multiple endocrine neoplasian type I, hyperparathyroidism and previous radiation therapy to the head or neck is suggestive of parathyroid cancer. The most common symptoms of parathyroid cancer include weight loss, muscle weakness, fractures, constipation, fatigue and bone pain.
History
- A personal history of genetic diseases that are risk factors for parathyroid cancer, such as:
- Multiple endocrine neoplasia type I

- Pathological fractures
- Palpable neck mass
- Fatigue
- Muscle weakness
- Weight loss
- Dehydration
