A case with multiple endocrine neoplasia was reported, including parathyroid adenoma, of the main cells of the gland, multiple small adenomas in the tail of pancreas, (cytologically and electron-microscopically determined as A cellular) and light-cellular adenoma of adrenal. The hyperfunction of parathyroid adenoma was manifested with hypercalcemia (3.75 mmol/l), and morphologically--with the multiple calcium metastases in lungs, kidneys and heart, established at necropsy. The cause for the death was the acutely advanced ischemic disease of myocardium, on the background of chronic pyelonephritis and renal insufficiency. The timely diagnosis of such morbid states is concluded to be important for the clinical practice and could lead to the saving of the patients by operative removal of the tumour.

Correlation between parathyroid adenoma volume and perioperative outcomes in primary hyperparathyroidism: Does the size matter?

University Center of Gastrointestinal and Liver Diseases-Clarunis, University of Basel, Basel, Switzerland.
Background: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) due to a parathyroid adenoma stands as one of the most prevalent endocrinological disorders, with focused parathyroidectomy being the established therapeutic strategy.
Aim: This study aims to investigate whether the volume of the pathological gland influences perioperative outcomes and postoperative morbidity.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on data from 141 patients who underwent focused parathyroidectomy for PHPT at the University Hospital of Basel between 2007 and 2022.

Hyperparathyroidism is a rare entity in pediatrics. It is defined as the increased production of parathyroid hormone. It may be due to a primary defect of the parathyroid glands (primary hyperparathyroidism) or to a compensatory parathyroid hormone production to correct hypocalcemia states of various origins (secondary hyperparathyroidism).

A 77-year-old woman was diagnosed with primary hyperparathyroidism, and initial cervical ultrasonography found no parathyroid lesion, and she was referred to the nuclear medicine unit for dual-phase 99mTc-sestamibi (MIBI) scan. The scintigraphy unveiled heterogeneous uptake patterns across bilateral thyroid lobes, corresponding to the thyroid nodules, alongside a marked focal uptake with delayed tracer washout in the right oral region. The SPECT/CT pinpointed a MIBI-avid nodule within the right parapharyngeal space, indicative of parathyroid ectopia.

Hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor syndrome (HPT-JT) is a rare hereditary disorder caused by pathogenic gene variants. We report the case of a patient with HPT-JT who carried a novel germline pathogenic variant. A 27-year-old woman presented with thirst, polyuria, fatigue, constipation, and a history of fibro-osseous mandible lesions and endometrial polyps.
