Autoparathyroidectomy: A case report

Abstract: This report describes a patient with primary hyperparathyroidism who became spontaneously normocalcaemic preoperatively. This was due to infarction in a parathyroid adenoma. Plasma parathormone (PTH) levels were monitored pre- and postoperatively.

“…Her anemia due to iron deficiency has also completely improved after oral ferrotherapy for 6 months. The spontaneous infarction of parathyroid adenoma rarely causes the biochemical remission, resulting in normocalcemia [3][4][5][6], which is also called as autoparathyroidectomy [6]. The hypocalcemia in the present case might be associated with the hungry bone state after the parathyroid infarction.…”

“…Remissions in these cases were generally attributed to hemorrhage and/or infarct of the adenoma [18][19][20][21][22][23]. This phenomenon has been termed "autoparathyroidectomy" or "parathyroid apoplexia" because of similarities with pituitary apoplexia [24].…”
