Parathyroid Adenoma with a Pathological Fracture: A Rare Case Report

INTRODUCTION: Primary hyperparathyroidism may mimic osteoporosis and lead to pathological fractures. CASE REPORT: We report a case of 35-year-old female who sustained left distal tibia-fibula fracture after a trivial fall, later diagnosed to have left inferior parathyroid adenoma. The fracture was m...

Sumario:INTRODUCTION: Primary hyperparathyroidism may mimic osteoporosis and lead to pathological fractures. CASE REPORT: We report a case of 35-year-old female who sustained left distal tibia-fibula fracture after a trivial fall, later diagnosed to have left inferior parathyroid adenoma. The fracture was managed conservatively and left inferior parathyroidectomy for the adenoma. At 4 years follow-up, there are no clinical or biochemical signs of recurrence. CONCLUSION: Pathological fracture in a case of parathyroid adenoma is extremely rare and requires a multidisciplinary approach for optimal outcome. A combination of clinical, biological, radiological, and biochemical markers with a high index of suspicion in an isolated bone fracture is required to diagnose parathyroid adenoma.
