Myopathy Revealing Parathyroid Carcinoma
Journal Title: International Archives of Endocrinology Clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is defined as an inappropriate and excessive secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH). It is usually asymptomatic and often diagnosed after a fortuitous discovery of hypercalcemia. We report the case of severe myopathy revealing PHPT secondary to parathyroid carcinoma (PC) with lung metastasis.
