Abstract
El adenoma de paratiroides es un tumor benigno de las glándulas paratiroides, que se caracteriza por un incremento de los niveles de la para hormona. Esta hormona tiene como objetivo principal la regulación de los niveles de calcio, fósforo y vitamina D en la sangre y en los huesos. Puede deberse a un problema genético, a la radiación en el cuello o por consumo de litio. La triada característica es un aumento de los niveles de parathormona, hipercalcemia e hipofosfatemia. Esta enfermedad afecta a uno entre 500-1000 habitantes y es la principal causa de hiperparatiroidismo primario. Se presenta el caso de un paciente masculino de 42 años, el cual es ingresado por presentar fractura de antebrazo y pierna derecha, causada por hiperparatiroidismo primario originado por adenoma paratiroideo, con identificación precisa de la lesión inicial y resolución quirúrgica satisfactoria.
Parathyroid adenoma is a benign tumor of the parathyroid glands, which is characterized by an increase in the levels of parathormone. The main objective of this hormone is to regulate the levels of calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D in the blood and bones. It can be due to a genetic problem, radiation in the neck or lithium consumption. The characteristic triad is an increase in the levels of parathormone, hypercalcemia and hypophosphatemia. This disease affects one of 500-1000 inhabitants and is the main cause of primary hyperparathyroidism. The case of a 42-year-old male patient who is admitted by presenting a fracture of the forearm and right leg, caused by primary hyperparathyroidism originated by parathyroid adenoma, is presented, with precise identification of the initial lesion and satisfactory surgical resolution.
