Article information

El hiperparatiroidismo primario es una entidad rara en la infancia. La forma neonatal se produce por hiperplasia de las glándulas paratiroides. En el resto de edades pediátricas las formas esporádicas se deben principalmente a adenomas y las familiares a hiperplasia. Los adenomas se presentan generalmente en adolescentes. En el caso que se describe, un adenoma de paratiroides fue extirpado en una niña de 11 años con antecedente de hipercalcemia esporádica desde los 5,5 años de edad, descubierta en una analítica y sin presentar síntomas ni complicaciones debidas a ella. Los estudios de imagen preoperatorios, entre ellos la gammagrafía con 99mTc-sestabimi, localizaron la lesión y la intervención normalizó la calcemia. El adenoma de paratiroides se presenta también en la edad preescolar y su diagóstico puede demorarse por la ausencia de síntomas.

Primary hyperparathyroidism in children is rare. The neonatal form involves hyperplasia of the parathyroid glands. In older children sporadic forms are usually due to an adenoma and familial forms are generally due to hyperplasia. Adenoma usually presents in adolescents. In the case presented herein, a parathyroid adenoma was excised from an 11-year-old girl with a history of sporadic hypercalcemia from the age of 5.5 years. The disease was discovered in serum chemistry and the patient presented no symptoms or conditions associated with hypercalcemia. Diagnosis was by preoperative imaging studies including 99mTc-sestabimi and surgical intervention stabilized calcium levels. Parathyroid adenoma occurs in pre-school age children and its diagnosis may be delayed because of the absence of symptoms.
