Abstract

We reported a case of primary hyperparathyloidism (PHPT). The patient, a 19-year-old male, was suspected of pelvic tumor at first.
We diagnosed this case at PHPT on the grounds of typical radiogram and increase of serum-calcium on blood examination. Differential diagnosis was necessary for bone cyst, giant cell tumor of bone, and McCune-Albright syndrome, etc.
The parathyloid tumor was resected, and osteoporosis and serum-calcium improved 5 months after the operation.
It is useful to test for serum-calcium in the screening of PHPT.
