Metastatic Calcification from Parathyroid Adenoma in ESRD : Report of a Rare Disease

Abstract

A 30 year-old female ESRD patient presented with stone masses at right elbow and left shoulder. The film X-ray showed calcification mass of both, so the diagnosis was metastatic calcification. Then further investigation was made and found hyperparathyriod state. Parathyroid scan was done and suggested abnormal parathyroid gland uptake, so the subtotal parathyroidectomy was done and the histology was confirmed to be parathyroid adenoma. After surgery the mass was smaller and disappeared.
