ABSTRACT
@#<p style="text-align justify;"><strong>OBJECTIVE:
</strong> To report a case of tumoral calcinosis from secondary hyperparathyroidism and to describe its surgical management.<br /><strong>METHODS:
</strong><br /><strong>Design:
</strong> Case Report<br /> <strong>Setting:
</strong> Tertiary Public University Hospital<br /> <strong>Patient</strong> One<br /><strong>RESULTS:
</strong> A 34-year-old woman presented with progressively-enlarging bilateral upper extremity masses. Diagnostic tests revealed hyperfunctioning parathyroid glands. The patient underwent subtotal parathyroidectomy, right thyroid lobectomy with isthmusectomy, and transcervical thymectomy. Follow-up revealed marked decrease in parathyroid hormone, and progressive resolution of the tumoral calcinosis.<br /><strong>CONCLUSION:
</strong> Subtotal parathyroidectomy and transcervical thymectomy have a role in the management of tumoral calcinosis, and in this case led to excellent post-operative results. The rare presentation of secondary hyperparathyroidism and intervention in this patient may have potential lessons for future management of similar cases.</p>
