Randomized trial reveals muscle strength improvement in a patient with giant parathyroid adenoma, suggesting a treatable neuromyopathic cause.

To highlight the rare presentation of proximal myopathy attributed to giant parathyroid adenomas.
Case report of a patient with severe muscle weakness and a giant parathyroid adenoma diagnosed after surgical exploration.
Parathormone levels were measured pre- and post-surgery to assess improvement.
The parathyroid adenoma measured 3.5×2.4×1.8 cm, weighing 5.5 g.
Parathormone levels dropped from 688 to 4.1 pg/ml after surgery.
The patient regained muscle strength progressively and resumed work after treatment.
