    • Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is rare in children.
    • Pediatric PHPT often presents with non-specific symptoms, delaying diagnosis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present three pediatric cases of primary hyperparathyroidism.
    • To review the literature on pediatric PHPT.
    • To highlight diagnostic challenges and treatment efficacy.

    Main Methods:

    • Case series presentation.
    • Literature review of pediatric primary hyperparathyroidism.

    Main Results:

    • Children with PHPT commonly experience nausea, weight loss, and personality changes.
    • Delayed diagnosis is frequent due to under-recognition of the condition in pediatric patients.
