Hungry bone syndrome (HBS) is a rare but severe complication following parathyroidectomy, characterized by profound hypocalcemia and increased bone mineralization. We present a unique case of HBS in a female patient initially diagnosed with a thyroid nodule, which was later diagnosed as parathyroid carcinoma. This case underscores the importance of considering HBS in patients undergoing parathyroidectomy, especially when preoperative diagnosis involves other endocrine pathologies such as thyroid nodules.
饥饿骨综合征(HBS)是甲状旁腺切除术后一种罕见但严重的并发症,其特征为严重低钙血症和骨矿化增加。我们报告了一例独特的饥饿骨综合征病例,患者为女性,最初被诊断为甲状腺结节,后来被诊断为甲状旁腺癌。该病例强调了在接受甲状旁腺切除术的患者中考虑饥饿骨综合征的重要性,尤其是当术前诊断涉及其他内分泌疾病如甲状腺结节时。
