title: Oral bony lesion in a patient with medical history of hyperparathyroidism.
abstract: Primary hyperparathyroidism is an uncommon disease in which the amount of parathyroid hormone circulating in the bloodstream is increased. Therefore, bony changes are often found in the prolonged or severe cases of hyperparathyroidism. This study describes and discusses the relationship between cystical radiolucent lesion in the left mandible of 29-year-old Japanese male and hyperparathyroidism which has the feature of bony changes.
