Abstrakt: A 13-year-old girl presenting with abdominal pain, polyuria, polydipsia, and radiologically confirmed renal calculi was diagnosed as having primary hyperparathyroidism. Laboratory data revealed markedly elevated serum calcium, low phosphorus, and elevated parathyroid hormone. Other parathyroid function tests also confirmed the diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism. Ultrasound examination showed a small echogenic nodule in the parathyroid gland. Following a single gland resection, the extremely high serum calcium level promptly decreased to normal range, and it has remained normal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
