Primary Hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) due to solitary parathyroid adenoma followed by parathyroid hyperplasia and carcinoma are the most frequent cause of hypercalcaemia. The most common granulomatous disorders causing hypercalcaemia are sarcoidosis and tuberculosis. We have reported a case where unexplained granulomas were seen along with parathyroid adenoma.
