Hyperparathyroidism is an endocrine abnormality that frequently causes diffuse osteopenia in the bones. Osteosclerosis is a rare phenomenon in adults with primary hyperparathyroidism since the usual skeletal manifestation is generalized osteopenia. We describe a patient with generalized osteosclerosis in the jaws and skull in association with primary hyperparathyroidism, while the other skeletal bones had normal or decreased density.
甲状旁腺功能亢进是一种内分泌异常,常导致骨骼弥漫性骨质减少。骨硬化在原发性甲状旁腺功能亢进的成人中是一种罕见现象,因为常见的骨骼表现是全身性骨质减少。我们描述了一名原发性甲状旁腺功能亢进患者,其颌骨和颅骨出现全身性骨硬化,而其他骨骼的密度正常或降低。
