An association between parathyroid adenoma and thyroid cancer is rare. Awareness of this situation will enable clinicians to consider for possible thyroid pathology in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism. Both of these endocrine diseases could then be managed with a single surgery involving concomitant resection of the thyroid and involved parathyroid glands.
