    Primary hyperparathyroidism and breast cancer can coexist. Surgical removal of parathyroid adenomas resolved hypercalcemia in three patients, suggesting neck exploration is warranted.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Oncology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Primary hyperparathyroidism is a common endocrine disorder often associated with hypercalcemia.
    • Breast carcinoma is a prevalent malignancy in women.
    • The potential co-occurrence of these conditions requires careful diagnostic consideration.

    Observation:

    • Three patients presented with concurrent primary hyperparathyroidism and breast carcinoma.
    • All patients exhibited typical clinical and biochemical findings of hyperparathyroidism.
    • Hypercalcemia was a prominent feature in these cases.

    Findings:

    • Surgical removal of parathyroid adenomas led to the complete resolution of hypercalcemia in all three cases.
    • The successful treatment of hyperparathyroidism did not negatively impact breast cancer management.

  • Histopathological examination confirmed parathyroid adenomas as the cause of hypercalcemia.

    • Implications:

    • These findings highlight the importance of evaluating for primary hyperparathyroidism in patients diagnosed with breast cancer, especially if hypercalcemia is present.
    • Neck exploration for parathyroid disease should not be deferred in patients with coexisting breast carcinoma.
    • Prompt diagnosis and surgical management of primary hyperparathyroidism can effectively resolve hypercalcemia, potentially simplifying overall patient care.
