Oral Manifestations established the Diagnosis of Hyperparathyroidism: A Rare Case Report

Abstract

A case of primary hyperparathyroidism is presented in a patient who reported to our OPD with the complaint of multiple central giant cell granulomas involving the upper and lower jaw. Such rare systemic conditions manifesting in the oral cavity pose a great challenge to diagnosis by the oral physician. However, a thorough clinical, radiological, histpathological and specialized imaging modalities are a key to its successful diagnosis, as was done in our case.
