Abstract
-
Primary hyperparathyroidism is not a rare disease, but only several cases have been reported in Korean literature. Recently, we experienced one case of primary hyperparathyroidism with hypercalcemia, hypercalcemia, recurrent stone attacks and pathologic fracture. The patient underwent parathyroidectomy, which revealed parathyroid adenoma. The serum calcium, urinary calcium and parathyroid hormone levels were normalized postoperatively.
