Parathyroid Carcinoma Manifesting as Recurrent Nephrolithiasis

Recurrent hyperparathyroidism due to parathyroid carcinoma.

The case is described of a woman who died with a functioning parathyroid carcinoma 19 years after removal of two parathyroid tumours, considered at the time to be benign. Following operation hyperparathyroidism subsided, with a short period of hypocalcaemia, and severe osteitis fibrosa cystica healed. Five years before death progressive renal failure developed with normal and later raised serum...

Recurrent renal cell carcinoma manifesting as a large intrathoracic fibrotic mass: A case report.

Renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) have a strong tendency to metastasize, and the most common sites are the lungs, bones and liver. Late recurrence is another feature of the RCC, with lesions appearing ≥10 years after surgical treatment. However, fibrosis has rarely been associated with the disease. The present study reports a case of recurrent RCC that manifested as a fibrotic mass within the thorax...

Prevention of recurrent calcium nephrolithiasis

Calcium-containing renal calculi are the most common stone type in reported series and recur in 26–53% of patients over a 10 year period. Because of this tendency, interventions aimed at reducing or preventing recurrence are an important strategy for reducing the morbidity associated with stone disease. This guideline uses an evidence-based review of the published literature with the purpose of...
