Abstract

|
|
Primary hyperparathyroidism is a relatively rare disease entity and is characterized by severe skeletal and renal changes due to hypersecretion of parathyroid hormone, and rarely shows peptic ulceration, hypertension and impared mentality.
Primary
hyperparathyroidism is caused by chiefly adenoma, hyperplasia and rarely cancer of parathyoid glands. Recently the determination of the serum calcium level has become a routine laboratory test and the awareness of primary hyperparathyroidism has
been
increased, this disease is being diagnosed with increasing frequency.
The authors experienced a case of primary hyperparathyroidism caused by parathyroid adenoma in 50 year old female. The main signs were impaired mentality and palpable nodule on the right lower portion of anterior neck. And we report this case
with
a
review of literatures.
