Osteitis fibrosa cystica, coeliac disease and Turner syndrome. A case report.
Today, osteitis fibrosa cystica is seldom present in primary hyperparathyroidism while it is mainly observed in uraemic osteodystrophy. We describe the case of a 54-year-old woman who was found to have huge bone cysts due to osteitis fibrosa cystica in the long bones. A parathyroid adenoma was identified and removed. Coeliac disease and Turner syndrome were diagnosed. Metabolic bone disease due to secondary hyperparathyroidism is common in coeliac disease; however, osteitis fibrosa cystica has not yet been described.
