• Primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is  third among the most common endocrine disorders after diabetes mellitus and thyroid disease with a prevalence of 0.1–0.4% in the general population.
•  
• The prevalence of pHPT increases with age, with an excess incidence of pHPT evident in women more than 45 years of age.
•  The incidence of pHPT in women of childbearing age has been estimated at 6 to 8 cases per 100,000 population per year and probably underestimated because of nonrecognition and to selective reporting of only those cases that have associated complications.
