Case Reports
[A rare cause of bone pain in children: primary hyperparathyroidism caused by adenoma].
Primary hyperparathyroidism is rare in children and adolescents. Bone changes may produce pain in the back or extremities, but this is rarely the first symptom of the disease. ⋯ Bone changes may occasionally cause severe pain, indicating demineralization and hypercalcemia: hyperparathyroidism is one cause of such changes.
