Lung Adenocarcinoma with Coexistent Primary Hyperparathyroidism
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Pharmaceutical Case Reports - Year 2016, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
The simultaneous presence of lung carcinoma and primary hyperparathyroidism, both causative conditions for hypercalcemia, is quite rare. A 56-year-old woman was diagnosed with hypercalcemia, caused by asymptomatic primary hyperparathyroidism attributable to a parathyroid adenoma. During evaluation, a lung mass was detected and diagnosed as lung adenocarcinoma on biopsy. We report the coexistence of primary hyperparathyroidism with malignancy in a patient who has hypercalcemia.
