    Abstract Parathyroid carcinoma is a rare cause of primary hyperparathyroidism. Compared to parathyroid adenoma, parathyroid cancer is more likely to be associated with marked levels of serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) and hypercalcemia with severe clinical manifestations. Noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary-like nuclear features (NIFTP) is a rare variant of papillary thyroid cancer. Here, we report the case of a middle-aged woman who presented with multiple fractures and neck swelling. Neck ultrasound and fine-needle aspiration cytology revealed a provisional diagnosis of thyroid carcinoma. Parathyroid and bone scan were performed because of primary hyperparathyroidism and hypercalcemia and established the diagnosis of hyperfunctioning right-sided parathyroid tumor. Right parathyroidectomy and total thyroidectomy were performed, and the histopathological report confirmed the diagnosis of parathyroid carcinoma and NIFTP. The synchronic coexistence between parathyroid cancer and thyroid neoplasms is an extremely rare condition that prompted us to report this case.

    Abstract Disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis (DPL) is a benign metastasis of leiomyoma mimicking metastasis of malignancy. It usually affects premenopausal women. Malignant transformation is a rare clinical scenario of DPL. However, its etiology is unknown with unusual growth patterns, either of which makes the diagnosis difficult. It was postulated that the pathophysiology of DPL is metaplasia of mesothelial cells under the effect of hormonal stimulation. Hence, we reported the case of a 62-year-old woman with a history of left breast cancer, who presented with DPL and metastasis to the lung with malignant transformation after two years of starting prophylactic tamoxifen therapy. The influence of tamoxifen use on the development of DPL is not fully understood; this is a rare case that highlights a possible association between tamoxifen and the malignancy transformation of DPL. Hence, it may help raise awareness among clinicians dealing with women using tamoxifen or other hormonal therapy, and the risk of DPL development with potential malignant transformation in such patients.

    Abstract Multiple primaries in patients with prostate cancer are uncommon. We report a case of prostate adenocarcinoma who did not receive any form of treatment, diagnosed 7 months later with colon adenocarcinoma. The patient underwent right extended hemicolectomy and recovered well. He is planned to receive adjuvant chemotherapy and hormonal therapy. Management of such cases can present a dilemma and multiple factors must be taken into consideration, particularly when the first primary tumour is still active.

    Abstract The discovery of novel mutations in genes encoding succinate dehydrogenase subunits has revealed that familial phaeochromocytomas are much more common than previously thought. Genetic screening should be offered to patients with apparently sporadic phaeochromocytomas and their first-degree relatives. An increasing proportion of phaeochromocytomas present preclinically on genetic testing or as "incidentalomas" on abdominal imaging, rather than with classic symptoms and signs. Clinical suspicion should prompt measurement of plasma levels of free metanephrine or 24-hour urinary catecholamine and metanephrine levels, followed, if positive, by tumour localisation studies. With appropriate perioperative care, surgical management of phaeochromocytomas is safe and effective. Most tumours can be removed laparoscopically.
