Mandibular Jaw Lesion Excisional Biopsy on a Patient with Hyperparathyroidism (Primary)

Abstract

Most of the primary hyperparathyroidism is due to adenomas in the parathyroid glands. Hypercalcemia is more common in primary hyperparathyroidism. Hyperparathyroidism may be asymptomatic and detected incidentally as part of a routine serological evaluation. Oral health care providers should recognize distinct changes in the jawbone associated with primary and secondary hyperparathyroidism.
