This case report details primary hyperparathyroidism caused by parathyroid hyperplasia, presenting with goiter, kidney stones, and bone disease. Ultrasound and fine-needle aspiration precisely located the parathyroid glands for surgical planning.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Nephrology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Primary hyperparathyroidism is a condition characterized by excessive parathyroid hormone production.
  • Diffuse parathyroid hyperplasia is a less common cause of primary hyperparathyroidism compared to adenomas.
  • The clinical presentation can include hypercalcemia, renal lithiasis, and bone disease.

Observation:

  • A case is presented of primary hyperparathyroidism resulting from diffuse parathyroid hyperplasia.
  • The patient also exhibited thyroid goiter, bilateral renal lithiasis, and fibrocystic osteitis.
  • Diagnostic imaging, including ultrasound (U.S.), was crucial for identifying the parathyroid glands.

Findings:

  • Ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration provided precise localization of the hyperplastic parathyroid glands.

  • This accurate preoperative localization facilitated the planning of a correct surgical approach.
  • The combination of clinical findings and diagnostic procedures aided in managing this complex case.

    • Implications:

    • Accurate preoperative localization of parathyroid glands is essential for successful surgical intervention in primary hyperparathyroidism.
    • Ultrasound and fine-needle aspiration are valuable tools in the diagnosis and surgical planning of parathyroid disease.
    • This case highlights the importance of a comprehensive diagnostic strategy for managing patients with multiple endocrine and metabolic complications.
