Primary hyperparathyroidism occurs with a frequency of about 25 new cases per 100,000 population per year. About 35% of cases of hypercalcemia syndrome are associated with primary hyperparathyroidism. After diabetes mellitus and thyrotoxicosis, primary hyperparathyroidism

Acromegaly and gigantism are neuroendocrine syndromes resulting from excessive production or increased biological activity of growth hormone. These two diseases should be considered as age-related variations of the same pathological process, the specific clinical manifestations
