Hypoparathyroidism and fluorosis both have high BMD but they behave differently.

Both the disorders may present as spondyloarthropathy.
•
These two disorders interact with each other to modify the clinical, biochemical and radiological outcome.
Abstract
Hypoparathyroidism and fluorosis are two distinct sclerotic bone diseases. Both have high BMD but they behave differently. Fluorosis causes secondary hyperparathyroidism and has been reported to cause renal dysfunction. Here we discuss a case that coincidentally had both the disorders and their interaction.
