Primary hyperparathyroidism-Jaw tumor syndrome: a confusing and forgotten diagnosis

Abstract: BackgroundPrimary hyperparathyroidism is caused by the excessive growth of parathormone secretion, its consequence being hypercalcemia. The parathyroid adenoma is responsible for over half of primary hyperparathyroidism cases. The mandibular tumor can be the initial sign in the case of primary hyperparathyroidism.Case presentationWe present the case of a 33 year old patient with history of a mandibular operated tumor, repetitive pathological fractures and hypercalcemia manifestations. The level of the parathor… Show more

“…In the case of incidental bone foci, this etiology may be considered as well as primary or secondary bone malignancies [105][106][107]. Diffuse and intense tracer uptake in the jaw may be observed in rare cases, being evocative of HPT-jaw tumor syndrome, a genetic disease linked with a negative prognosis [108][109][110].…”

“…Diagnosis of HPT-JT is important because of its genetic involvement and the 24% chance of malignant transformation (9,10). The nuclear medicine imaging -especially the scintigraphy parathyroid with 99m Tc-MIBI (methoxyisobutyl-isonitrile)-has an important role in establishing the diagnosis (11).…”

“…[9, 10] The nuclear medicine imaging - especially the scintigraphy parathyroid with 99m Tc-MIBI (methoxyisobutyl-isonitrile)-has an important role in outlining the diagnosis. [11] It has been estimated that approximately 70% of patients affected by this mutation may develop PHPT. [12]…”
