Özet
Osteitis fibrosa cystica is a skeletal disorder seen in advanced stages of persistent hyperparathyroidism. Although the measurement of serum Ca and intactparathormone levels provides early diagnosis and decreases the incidence of radiographic bone involvement, progressive major bone lesions may still be seen in developing countries even in the modern era. We aimed to share, by writing up this report, our astonishment after observing how the skeletal system can be ruined by persistent hyperparathyroidism.
