Failure of a primary operation to control renal hyperparathyroidism is usually due to inadequate resection of hyperplastic tissue or previous undetected ectopic parathyroid gland. We describe a patient with recurrent renal hyperparathyroidism, who presented with a subcutaneous neck nodule. A 49-year-old woman had a history of systemic lupus erythematosus, papillary thyroid carcinoma, and end-st...

Abstract: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) usually presents with one of the classical symptoms hypercalcemia - painful bones, psychic moans, abdominal groans or renal stones. It is well known that many a times PHPT can be asymptomatic. Asymptomatic parathyroid disease identified on screening, when calcium found elevated bone density to unusually low. Impacted fish being reason for neck imagin...

in this report we explain a case of primary hyperparathyroidism in a 45 years old diabetic woman that was initially presented with recurrent nephrolithiasis of more than 10 years duration leading to right complete and left partial nephrectomy and complicated by end-stage renal failure. after diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism and parathyroid adenectomy, she developed severe hypocalcaemia ...

Thyroid hemiagenesis is an infrequent congenital disorder which is rarely associated with hyperparathyroidism. We present a case of an adult woman who presented with hyperparathyroidism and ipsilateral thyroid hemiagenesis. Parathyroid adenoma was excised by minimal invasive parathyroidectomy.

Abstract Parathyroid scintigraphy is an imaging technique that uses gamma-emitting radionuclide to locate hyperfunctioning parathyroid glands in patients with hyperparathyroidism. It valuable for preoperative assessment before parathyroidectomy, which a curative surgery most cases of primary hyperparathyroidism and some secondary There are several different techniques scintigraphy. In general, ...

BACKGROUND Primary hyperparathyroidism is a rare cause of chronic pancreatitis and there is a paucity of data on this interesting association. There is also no data comparing the clinical profile of chronic pancreatitis secondary to primary hyperparathyroidism with that of alcohol related and idiopathic chronic pancreatitis. METHODS The clinical and biochemical spectrum of chronic pancreatiti...

Introduction Primary hyperparathyroidism as a condition with a high bone turnover is caused by an increased secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH). It is usually originated from a solitary parathyroid adenoma. PTH through its complex actions on the kidneys, gastrointestinal tract, and the bones is involved in the hemostasis of vitamin D, calcium, and phosphate (1). Primary hyperparathyroidism o...

BACKGROUND Primary hyperparathyroidism is caused by the excessive growth of parathormone secretion, its consequence being hypercalcemia. The parathyroid adenoma is responsible for over half of primary hyperparathyroidism cases. The mandibular tumor can be the initial sign in the case of primary hyperparathyroidism. CASE PRESENTATION We present the case of a 33 year old patient with history of...

Sagliker syndrome is a rare form of renal osteodystrophy resulted from untreated secondary hyperparathyroidism. It is described by severe skeletal deformities, high level of PTH in patients with chronic renal failure, and deformed face. This paper reports a 44-year-old male patient with the mentioned characteristics. In addition to the unique clinical features, high levels of ALP and PTH hormon...

Central giant cell granuloma is a benign, aggressive neoplasm composed of multinucleated giant cells that almost exclusively occurs in the jaws though extra-gnathic incidence is rare.Multifocal CGCGs of the jaws are very rare and suggestive of systemic diseases such as hyperparathyroidism,an inherited syndrome such as Noonan-like multiple giant cell lesion syndrome or other disorders.Very few c...
