Primary Hyperparathyroidism Associated with Osteosarcoma: A Case Report

Primary Hyperparathyroidism is a common endocrine disorder, often discovered fortuitously in the presence of hypercalcemia. Its association with Primary Osteosarcoma (PO) in some cases of the literature raises the hypothesis of a link between the two pathologies. We herein report a rare case of an ectopic parathyroid adenoma concomitant with the diagnosis of osteosarcoma.

A Case Report of Opioid Induced Hyperalgesia: When Pain’s Treatment Makes it Worse

Opioid-induced hyperalgesia is a paradoxical state of nociceptive sensitization caused by exposure to opioids. Some patients who were receiving opioids for treating pain become more sensitive to certain painful stimuli. Its diagnosis may be confounded by a worsening pain pathology, withdrawal, or opioid tolerance. Several options in treating opioid-induced hyperalgesia include opioid reduction dosage, opioid rotating, or switching to a non-opioid adjuvant, such as ketamine or methadone.
