    Abstract:
    Hyperparathyroidism-induced hypercalcemic crisis (HIHC) is an unusual state of marked progressive primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). Patients have severe hypercalcemia and may have severe symptoms such as kidney failure, acute pancreatitis, and mental changes. PHPT is due to the presence of a single gland adenoma/ disease in 80 to 85%; parathyroid carcinoma is reported in <1%. Among patients with adenoma, atypical parathyroid tumor can be found infrequently. Parathyroidectomy is the only curative approach for PHPT. In this report we present three cases of HIHC due to giant parathyroid adenomas (GPAs), one of them with histopathological characteristics of an atypical parathyroid tumor, with satisfactory evolution after parathyroidectomy. La crisis hipercalcémica inducida por hiperparatiroidismo (HIHC) es un estado inusual de hiperparatiroidismo primario progresivo y marcado (HPTP). Los pacientes tienen hipercalcemia grave y pueden tener síntomas graves como insuficiencia renal, pancreatitis aguda y cambios mentales. El HPTP se debe a la presencia de un adenoma/enfermedad de una sola glándula en 80 a 85%; el carcinoma de paratiroides se informa en <1%. Entre los pacientes con adenoma, el tumor paratiroideo atípico se puede encontrar con baja frecuencia. La paratiroidectomía es el único abordaje curativo del HPTP. En este reporte presentamos tres casos de HIHC por adenomas paratiroideos gigantes (APGs), uno de ellos con características histopatológicas de tumor paratiroideo atípico, con evolución satisfactoria luego de paratiroidectomía.
