The hypercalcemia reported as occurring in association with hyperthyroidism has been thought by some authors to be caused in some way by the thyrotoxicosis. It is the purpose of this paper to report a patient in whom the hypercalcemia associated with hyperthyroidism was caused by a concomitantly hyperfunctioning parathyroid adenoma. A review of other hypercalcemia cases reported with hyperthyroidism as possibly being caused by concomitant hyperparathyroidism has emphasized interesting possibilities regarding the effect of propylthiouracil on the serum calcium level in hyperparathyroidism.
