title: [Primary hyperparathyroidism in the pediatric population. Report of a case and review of the literature].
abstract: Parathyroid adenomas presenting as primary hyperparathyroidism are uncommon in children. We report a case in a 14 years-old male diagnosed as such illness who was studied by imaging tests (scintigraphy and IRM) that detected the responsible upper-left adenoma. He was operated without complications, with good postoperative evolution and normal calcium levels. Finally review the literature of this clinical entity in the pediatric population.
