Introduction:An endocrine disorder termed primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is characterized by elevated serum calcium levels because of parathormone oversecretion and is most often caused by parathyroid carcinomas, hyperplasia, and parathyroid adenomas, which together account for most instances. Although parathyroid gland adenomas are uncommon, they can be difficult to surgically treat (1). Parathyroid adenomas, or PTAs, typically have a size of less than 2 cm and a weight of less than 1 g (2). It is crucial to identify hyperparathyroidism early on in order to prevent problems that could harm the kidneys (nephrolithiasis or nephrocalcinosis) and bones (osteitis fibrosa cystica and osteoporosis). (3) Here we report a case of a 51-year-old Somalian patient who had weakness and nonspecific abdomen discomfort as a result of a single parathyroid adenoma, increased parathyroid hormone and serum calcium level.
