Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: Key Clinical Message: Ectopic mediastinal parathyroid adenoma causes primary hyperparathyroidism presenting as hypercalcemia. When children with hypercalcemia present with slipped capital femoral epiphysis, a detailed evaluation for hypercalcemia must be done before surgery. Abstract: The association between slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) and hyperparathyroidism has been reported and is rare. Each is known to affect different age groups. We report a case of a 13-year-old boy with SCFE and primary HPT leading to hypercalcemia and skeletal deformities.
