Sumario:Nephrolithiasis is a common urologic disorder affecting various age groups worldwide, in association with significant morbidity. The cause associated with renal stone varies, of which increased calcium level due to primary hyperparathyroidism (parathyroid adenoma) is one of the unique and rare causes associated. The case report we are presenting is a 35-year-old female with a history of recurrent renal stones in developing country settings. Upon detailed workup, parathyroid adenoma hence was identified to be the primary culprit. She underwent parathyroidectomy and has recovered well without any complications.
