Key Clinical Message We report a case of hyperparathyroidism with hypercalcemia caused by a giant parathyroid adenoma. We use a technetium sestamibi scan to locate parathyroid mass. Bone emission computed tomography revealed the classic signs of metabolic osteopathy. She was recovered after parathyroidectomy.
