M Petkova, and M Gavrilov, and A Tsanev

A patient is described, admitted to the clinic with manifested picture of severe hypercalcemic crisis. The clinical, paraclinical and instrumental investigations established the presence of adenoma of parathyroid glands. In spite of the reduction of hypercalcemia, after the conservative treatment, the effect was but only transient and adenectomy was performed as a radical method, which led to permanent normocalcemia.
