Abstract
We report a rare case of a giant mediastinal parathyroid adenoma that caused acute respiratory distress in a patient admitted to the emergency department. Initial arterial blood gas analysis showed hypercalcemia that pointed out to the diagnosis of hyperparathyroidism. Further investigation revealed presence of parathyroid adenoma. Following medical treatment of acute respiratory distress and hypercalcemia, patient had a surgical procedure and safely discharged home.
