Multiple pathological manifestations are rarely present in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). Here we described a case of a young woman who presented with multiple skeletal destructions and received an unclear diagnosis at several hospitals.
A 30-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital due to pain in both knees and walking difficulty that lasted for 6 and 2 years, respectively. Her laboratory test results revealed a high parathyroid hormone level (822 pg/ml) and hypercalcemia (2.52 mmol/L) in the blood. Parathyroid imaging revealed a lumpy concentration of radioactive uptake detected at the lower pole in the right lobe of the thyroid, and was nearly 2.2 cm * 2.4 cm in size. Next, the patient was treated with parathyroidectomy that resulted in a significant improvement in physiological and clinical symptoms. Moreover, the skeletal destruction and bone mineral density were significantly improved after a 5-years follow-up period.
Multiple skeletal destructions can be caused by PHPT that should be taken into consideration in young patients with complex bone lesions.
原发性甲状旁腺功能亢进症（PHPT）患者很少出现多种病理表现。在这里，我们描述了一例年轻女性，她表现为多处骨骼破坏，在几家医院的诊断均不明确。
一名 30 岁女性因双膝疼痛和行走困难分别持续 6 年和 2 年而被收入我院。实验室检查结果显示甲状旁腺激素水平（822 pg/ml）升高，血钙（2.52 mmol/L）升高。甲状旁腺影像学检查显示甲状腺右叶下极有放射性摄取肿块，大小约为 2.2cm*2.4cm。随后，患者接受了甲状旁腺切除术，术后生理和临床症状显著改善。此外，经过 5 年的随访，骨骼破坏和骨密度明显改善。
多种骨骼破坏可由 PHPT 引起，对于有复杂骨骼病变的年轻患者应考虑到这一点。
