Abstract:
The routine screening of patients for hypercalcemia has increased the incidence of hyperpa-rathyroidism, But, Primary hyperparathyroidism is relatively rare disease in korea. Especially, primary hyperparathyroidism caused by parathyroid chief cell hyperplasia has not been reported. The numbers of patients with bone disease, renal stones, other severe complication has declined, but the numbers of patients with psychiatric and neuromuscular disturbance or with asymptomatic disease has increased. We experienced a case with severe bone diseases due to primary hyperparathyroidism caused by parathyroid chief cell hyprepiasia which was confirmed through the mearsurement of serum calcium and parathyroid hormone, neck CT scanning and surgical exploration and which was managed by total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation.
