title: The co-existence of primary hyperparathyroidism and osteogenesis imperfecta.
abstract: A 47-year-old patient suffering from osteogenesis imperfecta was found to have mild hypercalcemia. The latter proved to be due to a parathyroid adenoma. The clinical and laboratory features of this association are summarized, and the implications of serum calcium abnormalities in osteogenesis imperfecta are discussed.
