Hungry Bone Syndrome in a Female Patient With Parathyroid Carcinoma Masquerading As a Thyroid Nodule

Hungry bone syndrome (HBS) is a rare but severe complication following parathyroidectomy, characterized by profound hypocalcemia and increased bone mineralization. We present a unique case of HBS in a female patient initially diagnosed with a thyroid nodule, which was later diagnosed as parathyroid carcinoma. This case underscores the importance of considering HBS in patients undergoing parathyroidectomy, especially when preoperative diagnosis involves other endocrine pathologies such as thyroid nodules.
