Over a ten-year period 26 patients were evaluated by the authors for elevated serum calcium and parathormone levels. All patients were clinically asymptomatic and were referred for parathyroid evaluation following a diagnosis of hypercalcemia made on routine SMA-12 studies. Twenty-four patients had positive thallium/technetium subtraction studies; two were suggestive of bilateral adenomata, one of which was confirmed at surgery. In two patients both thallium/technetium and technetium sestamibi scanning studies were negative. These patients were managed medically without surgical exploration. In all operative cases the patients remained normocalcemic during a six-month follow-up period. Operative times in all cases were less than one hour.

Water-clear cell parathyroid adenoma is an exceedingly rare tumor, composed exclusively of tumor cells with abundant foamy cytoplasm. A combination of hyperparathyroidism and neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is also a rare phenomenon. We report an 18-year-old woman with primary hyperparathyroidism caused by water-clear cell parathyroid adenoma in association with NF1.

Primary hyperparathyroidism is increasingly being diagnosed subsequent to the detection of hypercalcaemia using multichannel auto-analyser screening. This paper provides a local picture of the clinical presentation and management of primary hyperparathyroidism. A retrospective review was conducted of 44 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism who were treated at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital between January 1987 and July 1996.
