Abstract
-
Primary Hyperparathyroidism is a rare disease in Korea. To our knowledge, only 7 cases have been reported in the Korean literature. Only one of the reported cases had complicated urolithiasis. We describe a case of primary hyperparathyroidism in a 52-year-old male who presented with skeletal abnormalities and recurrent urolithiasis secondary to parathyroid adenoma which was confirmed through the measurement of serum calcium and parathyroid hormone, neck CT scanning and surgical exploration.
