ABSTRACT

Primary hyperparathyroidism was once thought to be a rare disorder, but it is now documented to be the most common cause of hypercalcemia in non-hospitalized patients. 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 reexploration, 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.
