The changing face of hyperparathyroidism
Hosp Pract.
1977 Nov.
Abstract
Despite its earlier reputation as a relentlessly progressive disease, hyperparathyroidism may actually remain asymptomatic for many year. If its possible presence is signaled by hypercalcemia and supported by other laboratory findings, surgery is often indicated because no medical treatment is effective, and long-term follow-up of this frequently malignant condition is difficult; the surgical cure rate is about 95%.
