Abstract

We report herein a case of familial primary hyperparathyroidism diagnosed in a 23-year-old woman who presented with hypercalcemia and urolithiasis. The parathyroid gland was removed, and pathological examination revealed chief cell adenoma. The proband’s younger sister had undergone surgery for parathyroid adenoma at the age of 19, and her aunt had a history of urolithiasis with a high level of serum parathyroid hormone. We have not yet found evidence of any other endocrine disorders suggesting multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) type 1 in this pedigree.
