Summary
Primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) can involve multiple glands or coexist with other endocrine tumors, such as in multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) syndromes. Our study reviewed 98 pHPT cases, detailing complex presentations and associations with MEN types I and II.
Area of Science:
- Endocrinology
- Surgical Pathology
- Oncology
Background:
- Primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is typically caused by a single parathyroid adenoma.
- Complications include multiglandular involvement or association with multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) syndromes.
- Understanding these complex cases is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.
