Abstract
|
|
|
Primary hyperparathyroidism was once thought to be a rare disorder, but it tis now documented to be the most
common cause of hypercalcemia in non-hospitalized patient. It occurs in about one in every 500 women over
40 years of age one in every 2000 men. The success of parathyroid surgery is based on accurate localization of
normal and abnormal parathyroid glands, knowledge of the pathologic conditions, and meticulous dissection
during removal of the abnormal glands. although parathyroid localization is essential in cases requiring re-
exploration, there is considerable controversy regarding the indications for localization studies prior to primary
exploration, since the success rate for surgery exceeds 90% to 95%. We experienced a case of parathyroid
adenoma which was diagnosed with biopsy and radiographic examination. In this paper, we report this case with
review of literature.
