Twin pregnancy with triple parathyroid adenoma:A case report and review of literature

摘要

Primary hyperparathyroidism(PHPT)is rare during pregnancy.A case of twin pregnancy with three simultaneous parathyroid adenomas at the same time has not been reported.Multiple parathyroid lesions are difficult to diagnose,as pregnant women who insist upon continuing a pregnancy are not able to undergo 99mTc-sestamibi scintigraphy,so cases of PHPT are easily unobserved and often can have serious consequences for the patient and the fetus.Therefore,we reported a case of a 28-year-old woman mid-pregnancy with twins,who had hypercalcemia and was eventually diagnosed with twin pregnancy with PHPT due to a triple parathyroid adenoma,had good pregnancy outcomes after undergoing surgery in mid-pregnancy.Twin pregnancy with PHPT due to a triple parathyroid adenoma,as presented in this case,is very rare and surgery in mid-pregnancy is demonstrated here as safe.Intraoperative parathormone monitoring was and remains key to a successful operation.
