Primary hyperparathyroidism presenting as pathological fracture and nonunion

VIVEKANANDAN .

Abstract


Abstract : Primary hyperparathyroidism revealed by a              pathological fracture is very uncommon. We report a               53year-old male patient with multiple pathological bone              fractures. The diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism was made based on these bone changes and the elevated                parathyroid hormone level. The histopathological findings confirmed the diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism .
