PathologyPathology
Para thyroid glands, two small paired endocrine glands, superior and inferior, on the posterior surface of the thyroid gland.
PTH enhances calcium level by
stimulating tubular absorption, intestinal absorption and bone resorption.
hypercalcaemia glomerular filtration of calcium hypercalciuria
. Urinary phosphate increased, due to suppressed tubular reabsorption.
calcinosis, stone formation, recurrent infection and impaired function.
Effect on the skeletol Effect on the skeletol systemsystem1.general loss of bone substance
2.osteoclastic hyperactivity produces subperiosteal erosions, endosteal cavitation and replacement of the marrow spaces by vascular granulations and fibrous tissue (osteitis fibrosa cystica).
3. Haemorrhage and giant-cell reaction within the fibrous stroma may give rise to brownish, tumor-like masses, whose liquefaction leads to fluid-filled cysts (brown tumor)
Brown Tumorbrown tumors are a non neoplastic process. On radiographic evaluation their multifocal involvement may be misconstrued as metastatic disease; however, the clinical history of renal failure and hyperparathyroidism usually establishes the diagnosis.
Brown tumors are known to occur only in the setting of hyperparathyroidism.
Symptoms and signs
Hypercalcaemia: anorexia, nausea, abdominal pain, depression,
Fatigue and muscle weakness.
Renal presentation: polyuria, stones or nephrocalcinosis
Skeletal and bone: complain of joint symptoms, due
to chondrocalcinosis. Only a minority (probably less than 10 percent)
present with bone disease; this is usually generalized osteoporosis rather than the classic features of osteitis fibrosa, bone cysts and pathological fractures.
Radiological finding: They appear as single or multiple, well
defined lesions, commonly affecting the facial bones, pelvis, ribs and femoral bone. With treatment Brown tumors may demonstrate healing with increased radiodensity.
osteoporosis and areas of cortical erosion.
The classical – and almost pathognomonic – feature, which should always be sought, is sub-periosteal cortical resorption of the middle phalanges.
Biochemical testsBiochemical tests hypercalcaemia hypophosphataemia serum PTH. Serum alkaline phosphatase with
osteitis fibrosa.

After examination and investigation they found that there is lesion in
the Right iliac bone

Then in the jan.2011 she Then in the jan.2011 she came to us with the same came to us with the same complaincomplainthat is why we started with that is why we started with complete recheking of the all complete recheking of the all investigations and excluding investigations and excluding of metastasis of metastasis
Results of our rechecking came back as the follwing

POST OP FOLLOW UP for about 6 months after parathyredectomy we found that
The symptom of pelvic pain completely abolished and pt looks well
Lytic lesion completely disappeared without any local surgical intervension
