Overview

Parathyroid cancer must be differentiated from renal disease, immobility, and granulomatous diseases.

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)
