ABSTRACT
A 66-year old presented with hypercalcemia with a 6 month duration. She was a MEN-I patient with a pancreas islet cell tumor and a pituitary adenoma. The clinical examination revealed no mass lesion of the neck. The serum calcium was elevated. Parathyroid scintigraphy showed a high uptake of 4 parathyroid glands that were compatible with hyperparathyroidism. During the operation, five parathyroid glands were identified, two at the right side and three at the left. All five glands were found to have hyperplasia by the pathologist. She underwent subtotal parathyroidectomy. She was discharged on the 8th post operative day and has been followed up without any evidence of recurrence for 36 months.
