Abstract:
A 48 year old lady was referred to BIRDEM Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh by her local physician for evaluation of hypercalcaemia and increased serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) in the background history of low trauma fracture. Ultrasound of neck and parathyroid scintigraphy with 99mTc-MIBI revealed a parathyroid adenoma. Parathyroidectomy was done. Histopathology report showed features consistent with parathyroid adenoma. Primary hyperparathyroidism should be kept in mind in all patients presenting with history of bone problems ranging from simple bone pain to spontaneous or low trauma fracture associated with hypercalcemia. By the help of appropriate localization technique it can be localized and cured by parathyriodectomy.

Hormones and Bone Tissue
Hormones That Influence Osteoblasts and/or Maintain the Matrix
Several hormones are necessary for controlling bone growth and maintaining the bone matrix. The pituitary gland secretes growth hormone (GH), which, as its name implies, controls bone growth. This happens in several ways: first, it triggers chondrocyte...

Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
The Parathyroid Glands
Oxyphil cells, whose functions remain elusive, emerge during late puberty, adding a layer of complexity to the parathyroid gland's intricacies. In contrast, principal parathyroid cells undertake a vital role by...
