Desarrollo de hiperparatiroidismo primario en el seguimiento de un paciente con enfermedad de Paget / Development of primary hyperparathyroidism in the follow-up of a patient with Paget´s disease

RESUMEN

La asociación de hiperparatiroidismo primario y enfermedad de Paget varía entre 2.2 y 6%. Hasta el año 2006 se habían descripto 73 casos con simultaneidad de ambos diagnósticos. Se presenta el caso de un paciente varón de 68 años con un Paget poliostótico activo medicado durante 10 años con bisfosfonatos, con buena evolución. A los 10 años de seguimiento se observan elevados niveles de calcemia, calcio iónico, la fosfatasa alcalina (FAL), su isoenzima ósea (FAIO), e intactos los valores de parathormona (PTHi). Se establece el diagnóstico de hiperparatiroidismo primario. Dado el inestable estado general se decide postergar la cirugía y tratarlo con zoledronato IV con buena respuesta.

ABSTRACT

According to the medical literature, the association of primary hyperparathyroidism and Paget's disease varies from 2.2 to 6%. Up to the year 2006, a total of 73 cases had been described, where both diagnoses occurred simultaneously. However, no manifestation of primary hyperparathyroidism during the follow- up of Paget's disease has been reported in the revised literature. We report the case of a well-controlled patient, who developed primary hyperparathyroidism during the 10-year follow-up of Paget's disease. A 68-yearold male patient with active polyostotic Paget's disease was successfully treated with bisphosphonates for ten years. During follow-up, increased levels of calcemia, ionic calcium, alkaline phosphatase, bone alkaline phosphatase and intact parathyroid hormone values were registered. The patient was diagnosed with primary hyperparathyroidism. As a result of his unstable general health condition, surgery was postponed and intravenous zoledronic acid was prescribed, with a favorable outcome.
