In our population of patients with sporadic PHPT, a positive family history of PHPT was strongly associated with MGD; additional associations were found with prior parathyroidectomy, non-localizing imaging, and male sex. Younger age was not an independent risk factor. Age alone in the absence of a family history should not raise suspicion for MGD nor determine the need for bilateral neck exploration.
