Abstract
A sixty-seven-year-old female patient presented with symptomatic hypercalcemia as the first manifestation of primary hyperparathyroidism due to parathyroid adenoma. Initially the chronic hypercalcemia was investigated and then subsequent parathyroidectomy was done. She is doing very well six months following the surgery and the hypercalcemia has resolved completely.
