The etiology of PHPT is predominantly attributed to parathyroid adenomas, accounting for 85% of cases, with 10% demonstrating ectopic localization. The prevalence of asymptomatic presentation poses distinctive challenges in both diagnostic and therapeutic realms, necessitating a nuanced approach to effectively address the complexiti...
