Abstract

A 54-year-old female presented with a cerebral metastasis of functioning parathyroid carcinoma in the right occipital lobe. After surgical removal of the metastatic tumor, her symptoms of left hemianopsia and hypercalcemia improved. Surgical treatment should be considered in a case of brain metastasis of parathyroid carcinoma associated with secondary hyperparathyroidism to prevent metabolic complications and reduce the mass of the tumor.
