    Primary hyperparathyroidism is rare in children. This case highlights an intrathymic chief cell adenoma, differentiating neonatal from childhood forms of the disease.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Endocrinology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Primary hyperparathyroidism is uncommon in pediatric populations.
    • Distinguishing between neonatal and childhood forms is crucial due to differing clinical presentations and management.

    Observation:

    • A 15-year-old male presented with an intrathymic chief cell adenoma.
    • Review of existing literature on pediatric and neonatal hyperparathyroidism.

    Findings:

    • Neonatal primary hyperparathyroidism presents with greater severity, including pronounced osseous lesions and genetic links.
    • Pathological changes in parathyroid glands and treatment needs differ significantly between neonates/infants and older children.

    Implications:

    • Neonatal hyperparathyroidism should be recognized as a distinct clinical entity compared to that in older children.
