Abstract EN
Generalized pruritus is a well-known complication of primary hyperparathyroidism.
We present the first case of primary hyperparathyroidism presenting as a severe localized inguinal pruritus.
Pruritus completely resolved after subtotal parathyroidectomy suggesting that intractable cutaneous symptoms like pruritus might be added to the current approved indications of parathyroidectomy in primary hyperparathyroidism.
This study also discusses the pathophysiology of pruritus in hyperparathyroidism.
Keywords : pruritus, hyperparathyroidism.
Abstract FRE
Le prurit généralisé est une complication connue de l’hyperparathyroïdisme primaire.
Nous présentons le premier cas d’hyperparathyroïdisme primaire se présentant par un prurit inguinal féroce et isolé; ce dernier a totalement régressé après parathyroïdectomie, suggérant ainsi que les signes cutanés sévères, notamment le prurit, peuvent justifier à eux seuls une parathyroïdectomie dans le cadre d’une hyperparathyroïdie primaire.
La pathophysiologie du prurit dans l’hyperparathyroïdie est également discutée.
