Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHP) in adolescents presents with diverse symptoms and diagnostic challenges. Surgical intervention for PHP in young patients leads to rapid clinical and biochemical improvements.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Pediatric Medicine
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHP) is rare in children and adolescents.
  • Clinical presentation can be varied, including skeletal, dental, renal, and psychological issues.
  • Diagnostic difficulties arise from subtle biochemical changes and imaging limitations.

Observation:

  • Two adolescent cases of PHP are presented.
  • Symptoms ranged from skeletal issues to urolithiasis.
  • Biochemical findings included hypercalcemia, hypophosphatemia, and elevated parathyroid hormone.
  • Imaging revealed an enlarged gland only on MRI in one case.

Findings:

  • Surgical exploration identified an adenoma in one case and hyperplasia in the other.

  • Both patients experienced immediate clinical and laboratory improvements post-surgery.
  • This highlights the effectiveness of surgical treatment for adolescent PHP.
  • Implications:

    • Early diagnosis and surgical management are crucial for adolescent PHP.
    • Further research is needed to refine diagnostic and localization techniques.
    • Understanding the full spectrum of PHP in pediatrics is essential for optimal patient care.
