Parathyroid Adenoma Presenting with Severe Skeletal Deformities

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Parathyroid adenoma (PA) is the most common cause of primary hyperparathyroidism. Parathyroid hyperplasia and cancer are rare, accounting for less than 1% of cases1. PA is typically identified via ultrasonography. We present a case of a 17-year-old female with severe skeletal deformities and extensive osteolytic lesions. She underwent parathyroid adenoma excision and subsequently developed hungry bone syndrome, requiring calcium and vitamin D supplementation. Isolated skeletal abnormalities as the primary manifestation of parathyroid adenoma are rare.
