Parathyroid carcinoma (PCA) is a rare malignancy accounting for approximately 1% of all patients with primary hyperparathyroidism. It is characterised by excessive parathyroid hormone (PTH) production. This manuscript reviews recent advances in the management of parathyroid carcinoma, focusing on molecular insights, diagnostic modalities, surgical innovations, adjuvant therapies, and emerging targeted treatments. Recently published manuscripts (between 2022 and 2023) were obtained from Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (Medline), Excerpta Medica (Embase), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), and European Union Drug Regulating Authorities Clinical Trials (EudraCT). These were assessed for their relevance in terms of the diagnosis and management of patients with PCA. This manuscript explores the role of genetic profiling and presents case studies illustrating successful management strategies. The manuscript also discusses the ongoing challenges in the management of parathyroid carcinoma, suggesting future research directions and potential therapeutic avenues.
