This study investigated coexisting hyperthyroidism and hyperparathyroidism in two women. Both patients had elevated thyroid function and parathyroid hormone levels, with persistent hypercalcemia after thyroid treatment, revealing parathyroid adenoma.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Biochemistry
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Investigating the complex interplay between thyroid and parathyroid disorders is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
  • Coexistence of hyperthyroidism and hyperparathyroidism presents diagnostic challenges due to overlapping biochemical markers.

Observation:

  • Two female patients presented with symptoms suggestive of both hyperthyroidism and hyperparathyroidism.
  • Comprehensive biochemical studies, thyroid function tests, autoantibody determinations, parathyroid function tests, and thyroid scans were performed.

Findings:

  • Both patients exhibited elevated thyroid function and increased parathyroid hormone levels.
  • Hypercalcemia persisted even after normalization of thyroid function, indicating a primary parathyroid issue.

  • Surgical exploration revealed parathyroid adenoma in both cases, with associated thyroid pathology including diffuse hyperplasia and lymphocytic thyroiditis.

    • Implications:

    • This highlights the importance of thorough parathyroid evaluation in patients with hyperthyroidism, especially when hypercalcemia is present.
    • Parathyroid adenoma can coexist with thyroid dysfunction, necessitating a multi-glandular assessment.
    • Timely diagnosis and surgical intervention for parathyroid adenoma are essential for resolving persistent hypercalcemia.
