Abstract
Background: The interplay between parathyroid adenoma and localized scleroderma represents a rare clinical presentation, warranting detailed investigation to understand their association better. This study aims to explore the characteristics, diagnostic challenges, and outcomes of patients diagnosed with parathyroid adenoma alongside localized scleroderma, focusing on a unique patient cohort. Methods: This longitudinal follow up study was conducted at the Department of Surgical Oncology, Bhopal Memorial Hospital and Research Centre, Bhopal, analysing 12 patients diagnosed with primary hyperparathyroidism, liver hemangioma, and localized scleroderma. Data were collected on demographic characteristics, clinical presentations, diagnostic findings, management strategies, and patient outcomes following surgical intervention. Laboratory investigations included measurements of serum calcium and parathormone levels, while diagnostic imaging facilitated the identification of parathyroid adenomas and associated anomalies.
