Parathyroid gland tuberculosis associated with secondary hyperparathyroidism in hemodialysis patient

uberculosis associated with adenoma of the parathyroid gland is rare. Few reported cases were about tuberculosis associated with pri­mary hyperparathyroidism. [1],[2] We encountered a chronic hemodialysis patient who was ope­rated on for resection of a parathyroid ade­noma with signs of secondary hyperparathyroi­dism. The histopathological exam of the resec­ted tissue revealed the presence of epithelioid granuloma with caseous necrosis.
