Parathyroid Adenoma as a Rare Cause of Persistent Hypercalcemia in a Female with Polycythemia Vera

Polycythemia vera is one of the myeloproliferative neoplasms that is distinguished by the uncontrolled production of blood cells and an increased red cell mass due to acquired JAK2 mutation. It has many complications and it might increase the risk of other tumors. However, it does not cause hypercal...

Sumario:Polycythemia vera is one of the myeloproliferative neoplasms that is distinguished by the uncontrolled production of blood cells and an increased red cell mass due to acquired JAK2 mutation. It has many complications and it might increase the risk of other tumors. However, it does not cause hypercalcemia and is rarely associated with parathyroid adenoma. Here, we report on a 64-year-old female with polycythemia vera found to have hypercalcemia due to parathyroid adenoma.
