Abstract
PHAKATHI, BP; MANNELL, A and NIETZ, S. Early stage breast cancer with concomittant primary hyperparathyroidism and autoimmune thrombocytopenia: a case report. S. Afr. j. surg. [online]. 2018, vol.56, n.2, pp.64-65. ISSN 2078-5151. http://dx.doi.org/10.17159/2078-5151/2018/v56n1a2191.
Co-existence of early stage breast cancer, primary hyperparathyroidism and autoimmune thrombocytopenia has never been reported. While there is an increased prevalence of primary hyperparathyroidism in young patients with breast cancer, this is the first case report of early breast cancer with both primary hyperthyroidism and autoimmune thrombocytopenia.
