Pregnancy-related parathyroid disease is uncommon. Several changes in calcium-regulating hormones occur during pregnancy, making the diagnosis of PHPT noticeably challenging. Therefore, serum calcium levels must be closely monitored during pregnancy for optimization of maternal and fetal outcomes. For the same reason, the appropriate management of gestational PHPT is mandatory, either medically or surgically.
