An instructive case suggesting cyclical primary hyperparathyroidism.

Scintigraphic evaluation of multifocal osteolytic lesions in a patient with primary hyperparathyroidism: A case report

Osteitis fibrosa cystica is the classic patognomonic form of skeletal disease in hyperparathyroidism that characterizes with decreased cortical bone thickness compared to increased cancellous bone. We present a case of 52-year old female patient with osteolysis of the left calf on radiographic images. The bone scan detected multiple focal pathological accumulations in the skull, left tibia, bot...

Primary Hyperparathyroidism and Pancreatitis: an Uncommon Cause of Pancreatitis

Myelofibrosis due to Secondary Hyperparathyroidism in a Case of Celiac Disease

Myelofibrosis is reported in patents with primary hyperparathyroidism. It is also was reported in patents with sec- ondary hyperparathyroidism due to end-stage renal disease or Vitamin D dependent rickets .We present a case of celiac disease and osteomalacia which leads to secondary hyperparathyroidism and myelofibrosis.

Brown tumor of the mandible: Magnetic susceptibility demonstrated by MRI

We present a case of a 75-year-old woman with right mandible cystic lesion and primary hyperparathyroidism. The MRI demonstrated marked loss of signal intensity on T2 gradient-echo images, suggesting intralesional hemossiderin. After an open biopsy, histology was consistent with "brown tumor." The finding of susceptibility on T2 gradient-echo images in a mandible lesion adds considerable specif...

Early Onset Primary Hyperparathyroidism Associated with a Novel Germline Mutation in CDKN1B

Individuals presenting with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) at a young age commonly have an underlying germline gene mutation in one of the following genes: MEN1, CASR, or CDC73. A small number of families with primary hyperparathyroidism have been identified with germline mutations in CDKN1B and those patients with primary hyperparathyroidism have almost exclusively been women who present i...
