Popis: Primary hyperparathyroidism during pregnancy is a pathological entity with an unknown incidence that presents certain physiological, therapeutic and prognostic characteristics leading to greater difficulty in diagnosis and a high risk of complications. We present the case of a 16-week pregnant woman who presented with asymptomatic hypercalcemia secondary to a solitary parathyroid adenoma. Since conservative measures produced no improvement, surgery was performed in the second trimester of pregnancy, with satisfactory pre- and postnatal results. Surgery in the second trimester constitutes a safe alternative to conservative treatment.
