Objective: To discuss the rare association between primary hyperparathyroidism and chronic urticaria.
Methods: A case report with clinical and laboratory details is presented, and the pertinent literature is reviewed.
Results: A 29-year-old patient with chronic urticaria for more than 2 years, which was partially responsive to medical treatment, was found to have primary hyperparathyroidism. After parathyroidectomy, the urticaria resolved, and it has not recurred during a 1-year follow-up period.
Conclusion: Primary hyperparathyroidism can be a rare cause of chronic urticaria.
