Article Synopsis
- Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) leads to excessive production of parathormone, causing bone loss and the formation of Brown's tumors, which can be mistaken for metastatic bone disease due to their similar presentation.
- A diagnostic imaging technique, 99 mTc sestamibi scanning, is utilized for locating parathyroid adenomas before surgical intervention, which is the definitive treatment.
- Four case studies highlight the importance of recognizing PHPT in patients with multiple bone lesions, emphasizing that careful clinical assessment and laboratory testing are crucial for accurate diagnosis and successful treatment.
