A case of 35-year-old male patient with previously undiagnosed primary hyperparathyroidism who presented with an atypical exophytic mandibular swelling is reported.
The aim is to alert the clinicians to include this entity although extremely rare, in the differential diagnosis of swellings in the maxillofacial region and to highlight another remarkable aspect in the multitude of presentations associated with primary hyperparathyroidism especially in the setting of normocalcemia.
报告一例35岁男性患者,患有此前未诊断出的原发性甲状旁腺功能亢进症,表现为非典型的外生性下颌肿胀。
目的是提醒临床医生,尽管这种情况极为罕见,但在颌面部肿胀的鉴别诊断中应考虑到这一疾病,并强调原发性甲状旁腺功能亢进症相关的众多表现中的另一个显著方面,特别是在血钙正常的情况下。
