RESUMEN
ResumenSe presenta el caso de un masculino de 25 años de edad, conocido sano, trabajador en un piñera, con un cuadro de 3 semanas de evolución de malestar general, adinámia, astenia, síntomas gastrointestinales y pérdida de peso. Fue valorado en el servicio emergencias de un hospital rural donde se describió que presentaba fascies de crónicamente enfermo, los laboratorios evidenciaron calcio en 21,10 g/dl, diagnosticándosele hipercalcemia maligna de probable etiología neoplásica e insuficiencia renal aguda, presentó cuadro de convulsiones generalizadas y falleció el mismo día que ingresó. El carcinoma de paratiroides es un tumor infrecuente con una incidencia menor a 1 en 1 millón, su clínica se basa en los efectos por la excesiva secreción de hormona paratiroidea y por niveles elevados de calcio en sangre como en el presente caso.

It was evaluated in the emergency service of a rural hospital where it was described that it presented fascies of chronically ill, the laboratories evidenced calcium in 21,10 g / dl, being diagnosed malignant hypercalcemia of probable neoplastic etiology and acute renal failure, he presented generalized convulsions and died the same day he entered. Parathyroid carcinoma is an uncommon tumor with an incidence of less than 1 in 1 million. Its clinical features are based on the effects of excessive secretion of parathyroid hormone and elevated levels
