Occasionally, however, difficulty is encountered. Atypical features may be present which render the preoperative diagnosis uncertain. When another disorder coexists, which, in itself may present features similar to those seen in hyperparathyroidism, making the diagnosis is apt to be especially difficult.In the present case the patient was found to have typical radiologic evidence of Paget's disease, confirmed by bone biopsy. Certain features, however, were atypical...Bibliography1. SchaafKyle MLH: Measurement of per cent renal phosphorus reabsorption in the diagnosis of hyperparathyroidism. Amer. J. Med.
