Bone fractures in a 53-year-old patient with parathyroid adenoma--a case report.
The study reports a case of primary hyperparathyroidism in a middle-aged patient who was first admitted for persistent ankle pain and local swelling. The subsequent clinical procedures suggested cystic changes in several leg bones, which were later shown to be caused by the parathyroid adenoma. Clinical presentation of the primary hyperparathyroidism can be highly misleading, sometimes causing various clinical procedures before it is certainly diagnosed.
