[Oxyphillic adenoma as a cause of primary hyperparathyroidism].
We describe three cases of women who developed symptoms of primary hyperparathyroidism originated by a parathyroid functional tumor. Ostoporosis, arterial hypertension and nefrolitiasis were the most frequent antecedents. The PTH and calcium levels in bood and urine were elevated. The CT and ultrasound confirmed the diagnosis of parathyroid tumor, which was identified histopathology as oxifilic adenoma. All patients underwent surgical treatment. We consider these cases of clinical interest because this kind of adenoma hardly ever produces hyperparathyroidism.
