Abstract
Extract Primary hyperparathyroidism is the term given to a group of primary pathological conditions of the parathyroid gland which result in the excessive production of parathyroid hormone. It was first described as a disease entity in man by Barr et al. ( 1929 Barr, D. P. , Bulger, H. A. and Dixon, H. H. 1929. Hyperparathyroidism. J. Amer. med. Ass., 92: 951–952. [Google Scholar] ) who grouped under this heading a series of conditions that had hitherto been described as osteomalacia, multiple cystic tumours of the bone, or parathyroid tumours.
