Abstract
The present case report describes a 65-year-old man with Lynch syndrome and hypercalcaemia associated with hyperparathyroidism. Parathyroid surgery confirmed the diagnosis of parathyroid carcinoma. Serum calcium and parathyroid hormone (PTH) concentrations serially increased after initial surgery. Imaging study and subsequent biopsy confirmed lung metastases with mismatch repair deficiency. Pembrolizumab was initiated achieving 60% reduction in tumour burden. © BMJ Publishing Group Limited 2020. No commercial re-use. See rights and permissions. Published by BMJ.Entities:
