    Familial hyperparathyroidism can present with severe hypercalcemia and advanced disease, often without symptoms. Early screening of relatives and aggressive surgical treatment for multiple gland involvement are crucial for managing this inherited endocrine disorder.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Genetics
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • Familial hyperparathyroidism is an inherited endocrine disorder.
    • It can present with severe hypercalcemia and advanced disease, often with a lack of symptoms.
    • Multiple gland involvement and recurrence are common in familial cases.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the clinical presentation and management of familial hyperparathyroidism.
    • To highlight the importance of screening family members.
    • To determine optimal surgical strategies for familial hyperparathyroidism.

    Main Methods:

    • Studied 28 family members across three generations.
    • Identified six individuals with hyperparathyroidism.
    • Reviewed clinical data, serum calcium levels, and histological findings.

    Main Results:

    • Six of 28 family members had hyperparathyroidism, including four siblings.
    • One sibling experienced recurrent hyperparathyroidism.
    • Dangerous hypercalcemia and advanced disease were noted, often with minimal symptoms.
    • Multiple gland involvement was common.

    Conclusions:

    • Serum calcium levels should be estimated in all close relatives of affected individuals.
    • Familial hyperparathyroidism often involves multiple glands and has a tendency for recurrence, requiring long-term follow-up.
    • Surgical resection of three parathyroid glands and part of the remaining gland is recommended for familial hyperparathyroidism with multiple gland involvement due to variable histology and recurrence risk.
