Abstract

The coexistence of primary hyperparathyroidism and sarcoidosis is very uncommon in the literature being still unknown the mechanism of such association. A case of a 37 year-old male is reported who presented hypercalcemia that was not corrected with a steroid test. Besides his pulmonary illness a parathyroid lower left adenoma was also detected. After removal of the adenoma, the calcium and para thormon (PTH) levels were normalised with a good clinical evolution. A literature review respecting this association is presented.
