Abstract/OtherAbstract:
We report the clinical and genetic findings in a 23-year-old woman with hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor syndrome (HPT-JT). The patient had a family history of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and uterine fibroma in her mother. The patient presented muscle weakness. The diagnosis of PHPT was confirmed by an elevated parathyroid hormone level above 1450 pg/ml with hypercalcemia and hypercalciuria. X-ray radiographies showed a radiolucent lesion in the right body of the mandible. Bilateral neck exploration was performed. An inferior right parathyroidectomy, a left thyroid lobectomy with isthmectomy and thymectomy were carried out. Histopathological examination of the specimen showed a diffuse hyperplasia of the parathyroid principal cells. The association of PHPT with a right jaw tumor and uterine fibroma suggested the diagnosis of HPT-JT syndrome. Mutation screening of HRPT2 gene was carried out and identified a germline mutation, consisting in a base deletion in exon 1, 85delG, inducing a frameshift. The diagnosis of HPT-JT syndrome is clinically important because of its hereditary component and its high risk of parathyroid malignancy, making a genetic inquiry necessary.
