Abstract

Parathyroid adenoma presenting as primary hyperparathyroidism is rare in childhood. We report a case in a 9-year-old Bedouin girl. The diagnosis was based on hypercalcemia, which was found accidentally, and elevated serum parathyroid levels. Ultrasonography, scintigraphy, computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging failed to detect the lesion. The diagnosis was only established at exploratory operation, when an adenoma was removed from the right upper pole of the thyroid.
