A case history of recurrent hyperparathyroidism 17 years following removal of an adenoma is presented. Reference is made to possible familial implications noted in this instance. The rarity of recurrent hyperparathyroidism is attested to by the fact that less than 20 authenticated cases have been reported to 1974. Arteriography may be greatly helpful in localizing the recurrent or missed tumor. Etiologic factors possibly associated with recurrence are discussed.
