Abstract
We report here the case of a 43-year-old woman with hyperparathyroidism, parathyroid chief cell adenoma, and massive chronic parathyroiditis. The patient was diagnosed with breast cancer and received chemotherapy 3 years before parathyroidectomy. The question can be raised whether chemotherapeutic agents may damage parathyroid cells leading to loss of self-tolerance and autoimmune chronic parathyroiditis.Entities:
