A case of primary hyperparathyroidism due to diffuse parathyroid hyperplasia, with thyroid goiter, bilateral renal lithiasis and fibrocystic osteitis is reported. Precise identification of parathyroid glands was achieved by U.S. and U.S.-assisted fine-needle aspiration. The role of the different diagnostic procedures has been evaluated in order to assess preoperatively a correct surgical approach.
