    Abstract:
    A case with multiple endocrine neoplasia was reported, including parathyroid adenoma, of the main cells of the gland, multiple small adenomas in the tail of pancreas, (cytologically and electron-microscopically determined as A cellular) and light-cellular adenoma of adrenal. The hyperfunction of parathyroid adenoma was manifested with hypercalcemia (3.75 mmol/l), and morphologically--with the multiple calcium metastases in lungs, kidneys and heart, established at necropsy. The cause for the death was the acutely advanced ischemic disease of myocardium, on the background of chronic pyelonephritis and renal insufficiency. The timely diagnosis of such morbid states is concluded to be important for the clinical practice and could lead to the saving of the patients by operative removal of the tumour.
