Abstract

Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) in children and adolescents is uncommon. Guidelines for management in pediatric patients are limited. Parathyroid glands are endocrine glands that secrete parathyroid hormone (PTH) and regulate calcium-phosphor metabolism. The overexpression of PTH is called hyperparathyroidism, and is classified as primary, secondary, and tertiary. In adolescents, 80 to 92% of PHPT cases are due to a parathyroid adenoma. Development of juvenile PHPT during adolescence is rare. We present here a case report of an adolescent with a brown tumor of the palate as the first manifestation of the disease, a  rare presentation of parathyroid adenoma in an adolescent. She had hypercalcemia, marked elevation of PTH and bone lesions.
