Description
Summary:To the editor：Primary hyperparathyroidism （PHPT） is an occasionally encountered disease caused by parathyroid adenoma,hyperplasia or cancer which secretes much parathyroid hormone leading to high serum calcium and low serum phosphorus level.The disease mainly involves bones and urinary system.The clinical symptoms such as seldom attacks of lassitude,fatigue,vomiting and calcification in normal tissues are rare.We present a patient with PHPT who developed bilateral metastatic calcification of the lungs,primarily presented with a chronic cough and dyspnea on exertion,as a reminder to clinicians of this possible complication.
