Overview

The oldest known case of hyperparathyroidism was found in a cadaver from a Early Neolithic cemetery in southwest Germany. In 1880, Ivar Sandström, a Swedish anatomist, described parathyroids in human following 50 autopsies. He found two parathyroid glands bilaterally in 43 out of 50 autopsies. In 1925, Felix Mandl, a viennese surgeon, was the first who performed parathyroidectomy to treat a patient suffering from osteitis fibrosa cystica.

Historical Perspective

Discovery

  • The oldest known case of hyperparathyroidism was found in a cadaver from a Early Neolithic cemetery in southwest Germany.[1]
  • In 1852, Sir Richard Owen, Hunterian Professor and Conservator of the Museum in the Royal College of Surgeons of England, described parathyroids in rhinoceros.[2]
  • In 1880, Ivar Sandström, a Swedish anatomist, described parathyroids in human following 50 autopsies. He found two parathyroid glands bilaterally in 43 out of 50 autopsies.[3]
  • In 1891, Friedrich van Rechlinghausen, a German pathologist described 'osteitis fibrosa cystica' (the parathyroid cystic bone disease).[3]

Landmark Events in the Development of Treatment Strategies

Famous Cases

  • Garry Shandling, a famous comedian suffered from hyperparathyroidism.[5]
