Giant parathyroid adenoma presenting with multiple pathologic fractures: A case report
Key Clinical Message Hyperparathyroidism is a common endocrine disorder, which must be suspected in patients presenting with fatigue, history of pathologic fracture and the diagnosis can be confirmed by elevated calcium and PTH levels, and the preferred treatment option.

Normocalcaemic hyperparathyroidism (NPHPT) and primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT): Least significant change (LSC) for adjusted serum calcium [PDF]
Introduction: The least significant change (LSC) is a term used in individuals in order to evaluate whether one measurement has changed significantly from the previous one. It is widely used when assessing bone mineral density (BMD) scans. To the best of

Ionized hypercalcemia in 238 cats from a referral hospital population (2009‐2019)
Abstract Background Ionized calcium concentration ([iCa]) is more sensitive for detecting calcium disturbances than serum total calcium concentration but literature on ionized hypercalcemia in cats is limited. Urolithiasis is a possible adverse consequence of hypercalcemia. Hypothesis/Objectives To describe clinical details of diagnoses associated with

Update on Preoperative Parathyroid Localization in Primary Hyperparathyroidism [PDF]
Parathyroidectomy is the treatment of choice for primary hyperparathyroidism when the clinical criteria are met. Although bilateral neck exploration is traditionally the standard method for surgery, minimally invasive parathyroidectomy (MIP), or focused ...

Vitamin D Deficiency and the Presentation of Primary Hyperparathyroidism: A Mini Review
The clinical presentation of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) has evolved over the years from a symptomatic disorder to a predominantly asymptomatic condition. Altered vitamin D metabolism seems to play a role in the presentation of PHPT and may exacerbate the severity of disease.

Background. Parathyroid carcinoma accounts for <1% of cases of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). This rare condition may present with severe hypercalcemia and bone complications such as osteoclastomas and pathologic fractures. Here, we present a rare condition of panhypopituitarism resulting from an osteoclastoma in the sphenoid bone that invaded the

Primary hyperparathyroidism is a hormonal disorder whose prevalence is approximately 1–2% in the United States of America. The disease has become more recognizable to clinicians in an earlier phase and, at present, patients can be diagnosed with “classic”

Epidemiology, Pathophysiology, and Genetics of Primary Hyperparathyroidism
The prevalence and incidence of PHPT vary around the world and depend on a number of factors, the most important being availability of serum calcium (and parathyroid hormone) measurement for screening, which in the Western world has shifted its presentation to an asymptomatic disorder.

Normocalcaemic hypoparathyroidism: prevalence and effect on bone status in older women. The OPUS study. [PDF]
There are no consistent data on the prevalence and bone status of normocalcaemic hypoparathyroidism (NHYPO) as defined by normal adjusted calcium and low PTH level.
