Primary hyperparathyroidism presenting as a proximal myopathy

Abstract

A 46-year-old female presented with a three year history of progressive weakness. Asymptomatic apart from proximal myopathy, multi channel screening and radiological features indicated primary hyperparathyroidism with severe metabolic bone disease. Removal of a parathyroid adenoma led to improvement of muscle strength and regression of bony and metabolic changes.
