Abstract:
Polycythemia vera (PV) is a chronic myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by increased erythrocytes and commonly associated with JAK2 mutations. Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), which is often caused by a parathyroid adenoma, is a common cause of hypercalcemia. Although unrelated, a potential association between PV and PHPT has been described in the literature. We report the case of a 41 year-old male presenting with concurrent PV and PHPT due to a parathyroid adenoma. Following parathyroidectomy, the patient's hemoglobin and hematocrit levels normalized without further treatment, suggesting remission of PV. This case report and literature review highlight a possible relationship between the calcium-parathyroid hormone axis and hematopoiesis, providing insight into potential shared pathophysiological mechanisms.

Disorders of Erythrocytes
Erythrocyte disorders can be broadly categorized into two main types: anemic and polycythemic conditions.
A low oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood due to the loss, lower production, or destruction of erythrocytes is termed anemia. Hemorrhagic anemia, for example, occurs when bleeding from an external wound or internal ulcer reduces erythrocyte counts.
