Hypercalcemia is a common medical problem with an estimated prevalence of 15% among hospitalized patients. Multiple myeloma (MM) and primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) are among the most common causes of hypercalcemia but coexistence of both pathologic processes in a patient is an extremely rare phenomenon. In this paper we have discussed a patient presenting with this rare phenomenon. We have also provided a comprehensive review of the scientific literature published on codiagnosis of MM and PHPT.
高钙血症是一个常见的医学问题,据估计在住院患者中的患病率为15%。多发性骨髓瘤(MM)和原发性甲状旁腺功能亢进症(PHPT)是高钙血症最常见的病因,但患者同时存在这两种病理过程是极为罕见的现象。在本文中,我们讨论了一名出现这种罕见现象的患者。我们还对已发表的关于MM和PHPT联合诊断的科学文献进行了全面综述。
