Spontaneous regression of hypercalcemia in a patient with primary hyperparathyroidism and prolactinoma.
We describe a unique case of spontaneous resolution of hyperparathyroidism in a lady with combined parathyroid adenoma and prolactinoma, raising the possibility of underlying multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) 1 syndrome. We also discuss the mechanism and natural history of such spontaneous remission.
