Malignancies and other plausible causes for these findings were looked for, but "screening tests" came out normal. A connection between parathyroid hyperactivity and malignant disease has previously been suggested by Kohout (2).In the Uppsala University Hospital we have seen about 350 cases of surgically proved primary hyperparathyroidism during the last 15 years. Among these cases, coexisting malignant disease was found...References1. AURBACH G, MALETTE L, and PATTEN B: Hyperparathyroidism: recent studies. Ann Intern Med 79:566-581, 1973 LinkGoogle Scholar2.
