title: Surgically proven primary hyperparathyroidism with a suppressed intact parathyroid hormone.
abstract: A patient with hypercalcaemia had persistently suppressed serum intact parathyroid hormone levels (measured by immunochemiluminometric assay). However, other biochemical tests and open-neck exploration confirmed a diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism.
