A 65-year-old female with heart pain was diagnosed with hyperparathyroidism due to critically high blood calcium levels. Surgical removal of a parathyroid adenoma led to a full recovery, highlighting the importance of clinical signs.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Internal Medicine

Background:

  • Hyperparathyroidism is a condition characterized by overactive parathyroid glands.
  • It often leads to elevated calcium levels (hypercalcemia), potentially causing various symptoms.

Observation:

  • A 65-year-old female presented with recurrent chest pain, epigastric discomfort, nausea, weakness, and weight loss.
  • Electrocardiogram showed a shortened Q-T interval, and blood tests revealed critically high calcium levels.
  • Further investigations excluded secondary hypercalcemia, and elevated parathormone confirmed primary hyperparathyroidism.

Findings:

  • Primary hyperparathyroidism was diagnosed in a patient presenting with symptoms mimicking other conditions.
  • Elevated parathormone levels were key in diagnosing the condition.

  • Surgical resection of a parathyroid adenoma resulted in complete symptom resolution.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of recognizing clinical signs suggestive of hypercalcemia and hyperparathyroidism.
    • Early diagnosis and surgical intervention can lead to complete recovery.
    • Clinical vigilance is crucial for identifying rare presentations of common endocrine disorders.
