Objective To analysis the clinical symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). Methods A retrospective study was made in consecutive patients with PHPT who performed operation and had integral data between January 2004 to December 2012 in West China Hospital. Results The 136 cases were composed of 52 cases (38.23%) bone types, 17 cases (12.50%) nephrocalcinosis, 7 cases (5.15%) skeletal and renal involvements, 24 cases (17.65%) asymptomatic primary hyperparathyroidism, and 36 cases (26.47%) combined with other clinical symptoms. The preoperative parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels were (106.20±88.88) pmol/L (6.91-390 pmol/L) and serum calcium were (3.12±0.66) mmol/L (2.15-5.77 mmol/L). The coincidence rate between the examinations preoperation and pathology:B type ultrasound was 75.00%, 99Tcm-MIBI scan was 85.29%, ultrasound and 99Tcm-MIBI combined with computerized tomography (CT) scan was 86.76%. Pathology presentation:129 patients (94.85%) were benign lesions, 7 cases (5.15%) were parathyroid carcinoma. Of the 129 patients, 114 cases (95.80%) were single parathyroid adenoma, 5 cases (4.20%) were multiple parathyroid adenoma or combined parathyroid hyperplasia, 10 cases (7.75%) were parathyroid hyperplasia. Of the patients, the PTH level decreased to below normal upper limit within 3 days after surgery in 124 cases (91.18%). One hundred and twenty-four cases (91.18%) were followed-up. The follow-up time was 6-112 months, a median follow-up time was 49 months. Twelve patients (8.82%) were lost to follow-up, 2 patients (1.47%) with carcinoma recurrence, the rest patients without recurrence and metastasis. Three patients (2.20%) with parathyroid carcinoma died. Of the 3 patients, 2 died of systemic metastasis of parathyroid carcinoma in 18 and 23 months after surgery, 1 died of cardiovascular accident in 19 months after surgery. Conclusion Surgical excision of the lesion parathyroid tissue is the most effective treatment for PHPT.
