Primary hyperparathyroidism in a patient with primary aldosteronism.

BACKGROUND

Primary hyperparathyroidism is one of the most common causes of hypercalcemia. Inherited forms of primary hyperparathyroidism like Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1, Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 2a, Hyperparathyroidism-Jaw Tumor Syndrome or isolated familial tumors are not common for our population.

RESULTS

We present a case of primary hyperparathyroidism in a 38-year-old Turkish man with hyperaldosteronism (Conn's syndrome).

CONCLUSION

Genetic studies could not reveal any mutation. We could not identify any inherit form of the diseases. We wanted the first-line relatives examination of the suspected gene mutation, but they refused.
