I. INTRODUCTION

A range of parathyroid proliferative disorders,

including parathyroid adenoma, parathyroid hyperplasia,
and parathyroid cancer, encompasses primary
hyperparathyroidism. The diagnosis of primary
hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), which is mostly caused by
parathyroid adenoma, is typically made based on sporadic Fig 1 Post-op Picture of Excised Parathyroid Adenoma
indications of hypercalcemia and confirmed by a high serum
parathyroid hormone (PTH) concentration. We describe a
case of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) causing
recurrent bouts of nephrolithiasis which is primarily caused
by calcium deposits in the renal parenchyma.

II. CASE REPORT

We report the instance of a 60 years of age female

patient presented to this hospital with two-sided knee agony
and lower backpain for two weeks. She had a few episodes
of bilateral nephrolithiasis and for which she had gone
through ureterocalicostomy with DJ stenting two times in
most recent 2 years. On affirmation x-beams of the two
knees and lumbar spine were unexceptional. Lab results
showed ordinary ionized calcium and phosphorus level with Fig 2 Intra-op Picture of Parathyroid Adenoma

The treatment of parathyroid cancers is the careful

investigation of the neck and evacuation of neurotic
parathyroid organs followed by one more parathyroid organ
biopsy to decide the chance of adenoma or different organ
hyperplasias. On the off chance that a parathyroid cancer
was not found, taking into account the predominant
investigation of the mediastinum is fundamental.
