The case to be reported appears to be the first in which carcinoma of the parathyroid gland was associated with acute parathyroid poisoning. This case is of particular interest in that the patient survived one episode of acute intoxication which was terminated by surgical removal of the gland, only to succumb to a recurrence of the same condition six years later.
