Effective long-term management of parathyromatosis-related refractory hypercalcemia with a combination of denosumab and cinacalcet treatment.

Parathyromatosis is a rare cause of persistent or recurrent primary hyperparathyroidism and hypercalcemia due to the presence of hyperfunctioning foci of parathyroid tissue in the neck and/or mediastinum. We describe the case of a male patient who presented with severe hypercalcemia and a left-sided palpable parathyroid mass. Over the course of the next 18 years, the patient underwent neck exploration surgery on multiple occasions due to recurrent primary hyperparathyroidism and refractory hypercalcemia, complicated by nephrolithiasis and impairment of renal function, while bone mineral density was preserved.
