Figure

• 

  Fig. 1 Computed tomography scan of the neck showing 1×1.2 cm sized left cervical mass with low density, consistent with recurrent parathyroid carcinoma (arrow). Adapted from Ju et al. [1].

• 

  Fig. 2 (A) Magnetic resonance imaging of the meningioma. A 3×4 cm sized extra-axial tumor along the left frontal convexity consistent with meningioma is noted (arrow). Adapted from Ju et al. [1]. (B) Immunohistochemical localization of calcium sensing receptor (CaSR) in meningioma. Strong CaSR-antibody (diluted 1:500, Novus Biologicals) reactivity in meningioma tissue is notable (×200).
