# Primary hyperparathyroidism in a patient with primary aldosteronism

## TL;DR

A 38-year-old Turkish man was diagnosed with primary hyperparathyroidism alongside primary aldosteronism, with no identified genetic mutations.

## Contribution

The paper presents a rare case of primary hyperparathyroidism in a patient with primary aldosteronism without genetic mutations.

## Key findings

- The patient had primary hyperparathyroidism and primary aldosteronism (Conn’s syndrome).
- No genetic mutations were identified in the patient or his relatives.
- The case highlights the coexistence of two endocrine disorders without inherited causes.

## Abstract

Primary hyperparathyroidism is one of the most common causes of hypercalcemia. Inherited forms of primary hyperparathyroidism like Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1, Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 2a, Hyperparathyroidism-Jaw Tumor Syndrome or isolated familial tumors are not common for our population.

We present a case of primary hyperparathyroidism in a 38-year-old Turkish man with hyperaldosteronism (Conn’s syndrome).

Genetic studies could not reveal any mutation. We could not identify any inherit form of the diseases. We wanted the first-line relatives examination of the suspected gene mutation, but they refused.
