Key Points

This research aims to highlight the importance of early recognition and management of hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor syndrome.
Case presentation of a 31-year-old male with diagnosed HPT-JT syndrome.
Evaluation of severity through parathyroid hormone levels and hypercalcemia assessment.
Discussion on surgical management and genetic testing for confirmation.
Diagnosis of HPT-JT syndrome was confirmed following evaluation.
Severe hyperparathyroid hormone-dependent hypercalcemia was identified incidentally.
Prompt surgical intervention is emphasized as crucial for treatment and complications prevention.

Abstract

Hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor (HPT-JT) syndrome is an uncommon autosomal dominant disorder associated with primary hyperparathyroidism due to parathyroid adenomas and ossifying jaw tumors. We present the case of a 31-year-old male who was incidentally diagnosed with severe parathyroid hormone-dependent hypercalcemia following a traumatic upper limb fracture. Subsequent evaluation confirmed the diagnosis of HPT-JT syndrome. Early recognition, prompt surgical management, and genetic confirmation are essential to ensure appropriate treatment and prevent long-term complications.
