Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is common in patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) on kidney replacement therapy, which leads to abnormalities of bone and mineral metabolism. Patients conceiving on kidney replacement therapy add a further layer of complexity to the management of their SHPT. Existing literature in cases of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) has linked untreated hyperparathyroidism to increased maternal and fetal morbidity, including hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, fetal growth restriction and neonatal hypocalcaemia. The pharmacotherapies used for SHPT lack the safety data in pregnancy and may not adequately control severe disease. Existing literature on surgical parathyroidectomy in pregnancy is limited to the cases of PHPT. We present a case of a multigravida woman with ESKD on haemodialysis, who conceived with severe pre-existing SHPT. We describe the success of surgical parathyroidectomy in pregnancy to treat her SHPT despite the limited evidence supporting this treatment.

Ectopic parathyroid glands result from abnormal migration during development. If not detected promptly, they can lead to persistent or recurrent primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT). Inferior parathyroid glands are typically located in the anterior mediastinum, while superior parathyroid glands are often near the tracheoesophageal groove, both of which contribute to pHPT.

Article Synopsis
- Uremic leontiasis ossia (ULO) is a rare condition linked to renal osteodystrophy in patients with end-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) and secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPTH), causing bone deformities that can lead to a 'leonine' facial appearance.
- The case study focuses on a 39-year-old female patient undergoing treatment, who exhibited significant symptoms and had elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels, confirmed by CT scans.
- Treatment involves a multidisciplinary approach including surgery and management of SHPTH to correct anatomical issues and prevent further complications.

Introduction And Importance: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a frequent complication to multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1), presenting challenges due to increased risk of multi-gland disease and recurrence post parathyroidectomy (PTX). This case report examines the management of PHPT in a MEN1 patient, emphasizing possible benefits from intraoperative parathyroid autofluorescence imaging (AF).
Case Presentation: A 21-year-old woman with MEN1 presented with mild hyperparathyroidism symptoms in 2014.
