ABSTRACT Osteitis fibrosa cystica is a rare presentation of both primary and secondary hyperparathyroidism. In this perspective, we provide a historical backdrop to this form of parathyroid disease and contend that this clinical presentation of excess parathyroid hormone, particularly in primary hyperparathyroidism, is still seen today. In view of its rarity and the way it typically presents, the diagnosis of metastatic cancer is often the first diagnostic impression. © 2020 The Authors.
