  • Title: [Pathologic fracture of the femur due to primary hyperparathyroidism].
    Author: Pérez JA, López B, Valdivia P, Norambuena L.
    Journal: Rev Med Chil; 1989 Sep; 117(9):1018-22. PubMed ID: 2519466.
    Abstract:
    Pathologic fractures are not commonly described in primary hyperparathyroidism. A 31 year old male with primary hyperparathyroidism developed severe hypercalcemia and cystic osteitis. Bone pains and a fracture of the femur followed. A parathyroid adenoma was demonstrated by ultrasonography. After resection of the tumor, a normalization of serum Ca levels and clinical recovery took place.
