Primary hyperparathyroidism is chronic disease which exhibits variable complex of symptoms suggestive of multiple system involvement.
The authors have treated a case of primary hyperparathyroidism which was caused by parathyroid adenoma.
The patient, 48 years old male, has been complained of back pain and polyarthralgia for five years. Radiologically, subperiosteal resorption along the radial margin of the middle phalanges and disappearance -of lamina data were noticed. In laboratory findings, serum calcium was increased, serum phosphate was .decreased and alkaline phosphatase was markedly increased. Parathyroid adenoma was excised under the diagnosis of parathyroid adenoma.
Fow months after removal of parathyroid adenoma, improvement was noted in clinical feature, laboratory findings and radiologic findings of bone.
