Parathyroid Adenoma: Sand Behind the Storm

Abstract

Hyperparathyroidism is a metabolic disorder caused by increased levels of parathormone levels. Depending on underlying etiology, it can be sub-classified into primary, secondary, and tertiary types. Hyperparathyroidism can present as hyperplasia or adenoma in association with syndromes like Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia (MEN) or other familial syndromes. We are presenting a case of hyperparathyroidism due to underlying parathyroid adenoma with characteristic radiological and nuclear imaging findings.
