Differences in the Presentation and Outcome between Premenopausal and Postmenopausal Primary Hyperparathyroidism Indian Women: A Single-Center Experience.

Introduction: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is an endocrine disorder wherein enlargement of one or more of the parathyroid glands causes autonomous overproduction of the parathyroid hormone (PTH), which leads to high serum calcium levels.

Objective: The objective of this study was to compare the clinical, laboratory, and operative variables between premenopausal (pre-M) and postmenopausal (post-M) women with PHPT.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis of the data of female patients who underwent surgery for PHPT at a single center, from January 2011 to December 2020, was done.

Laparoscopic Resection of a Renal Hilar Pheochromocytoma in an Adolescent With a Circumaortic Left Renal Vein.

Pheochromocytoma is a neuroendocrine tumor that usually develops from the chromaffin cells in the adrenal medulla. Extra-adrenal pheochromocytomas arise in the neural crest cells of the retroperitoneal paraganglia and renal hilum is a common site for their occurrence. We describe a 17-year-old boy, whom we believe to be the first reported case of successful laparoscopic resection of a renal hilar extra-adrenal pheochromocytoma in the setting of a circumaortic left renal vein.
