Objectives: 1. Identify the clinical characteristics of parathyroid (PTH) cancer and PTH atypical neoplasms 2. Investigate if PTH carcinoma and atypical neoplasm present a biological behaviour and have a different impact on the health of the patients
Data between the years of 1/1/2002 and 12/31/2013 will be analyzed.
