Primary hyperparathyroidism in children.
We present here a series of seven children with primary hyperparathyroidism caused by parathyroid adenoma. Chief cells were the primary element in six patients and water-clear cells in one patient. A brief review of the literature on primary hyperparathyroidism in children is included. Emphasis is placed on the clinical characteristics of this rare disease in children.
