A solitary parathyroid adenoma caused primary hyperparathyroidism in a 60-year-old female, leading to severe bone and joint pain. This case highlights diagnostic and management strategies for this endocrine disorder.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a common endocrine disorder often caused by parathyroid adenomas.
  • Persistent bone and joint pain can be a debilitating symptom of PHPT.

Observation:

  • A 60-year-old female presented with a four-year history of progressive, disabling bone and joint pain.
  • Diagnostic workup confirmed primary hyperparathyroidism attributed to a solitary adenoma of the right inferior parathyroid gland.

Findings:

  • The case details the diagnostic pathway, including imaging modalities used to localize the parathyroid adenoma.
  • Clinical features and the patient's response to medical and surgical management are presented.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering PHPT in patients with unexplained bone and joint pain.
