Familial parathyroid carcinoma in a child.
Familial hyperparathyroidism and parathyroid carcinoma are rare diseases. A case of parathyroid carcinoma in an 8-year-old girl whose mother had previously undergone parathyroidectomy for primary hyperparathyroidism is reported. Parathyroid carcinoma in a preadolescent child has not been described previously, and may have a familial basis.
