Abstract

Abstract: Hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor (HPT-JT) is an autosomal dominant disorder responsible for benign and/or malignant tumors. Affected women often present life-threatening menorrhagia that leads to the identification of uterine tumors, and experience miscarriages and infertility. Overall though, fewer data concerning gynecological pathologies related to HPT-JT syndrome are available. We report the case of a 32-year-old woman with HPT-JT syndrome, referred for recurrent vaginal bleeding, with a history of repeated endometrial polyps and infertility. We also review the literature that explores medical options for these women.
