Parathyroid lesions - case 742

Clinical data: On routine laboratory blood test, an elevated serum calcium level, thereafter an elevated parathormone level (142 pg/mL) were detected in a 64-year-old woman 5 years ago. Further investigation of this was then interrupted for unknown reason. This time, the GP initiated repeat examination because the patient suffered from three bone fractures in the past one year.

Palpation: no abnormality.

Laboratory data: TSH 0.98 mIU/L, parathormone 221 pg/ml, serum calcium 3.04 mM/L, phosphorus 0.75 mM/L.
