Atypical parathyroid adenoma: Severe manifestations in an adolescent girl.

Case report

Herein, we describe the case of a 16-year-old adolescent girl who presented with severe manifestations of primary hyperparathyroidism. Biochemically, she had severe parathyroid hormone (PTH)-dependent hypercalcaemia with hypophosphataemia and vitamin D deficiency (serum total Ca - 18.5 mg/dl [8.5-10.5 mg/dl], serum PO4 - 1.9 mg/dl [2.5-4.5 mg/dl], serum ALP - 2015 IU/l [80-240 IU/l], serum 25[OH]D - 19.1 ng/ml [30-100 ng/ml] and
