The rarity of this tumor does not allow for large published series of treatment experience or permit the systematic evaluation of combination therapies.[1,2] The relatively slow cell-doubling time for this tumor makes radical surgery a therapeutic option even for patients with metastatic disease. Treatment and control of secondary hypercalcemia must be the initial treatment goal in all patients with hyperparathyroidism.
