Hypercalcemia and Neurological Symptoms: A Rare Presentation of Hyperfunctioning Parathyroid Adenoma in an Adolescent.

Neuropsychiatric symptoms are rarely described as a manifestation of hyperparathyroidism, especially in children. We describe the case of an adolescent with hypercalcemia related to and hyperfunctioning parathyroid adenoma presenting with acute neuropsychiatric symptoms. A 14-year-old-girl presented into the Emergency Service Department because of an acute onset of marked asthenia, muscle weakness with difficulty in walking, and altered mental status, which included nonsensical speech.

Atypical primary hyperparathyroidism due to parathyroid lipoadenoma: a case report.

Parathyroid lipoadenoma is a very rare cause of primary hyperparathyroidism. Preoperative imaging techniques often fail to detect such lesions, and even during surgery they can be misinterpreted just as fat tissue. A 62-year-old woman clinically monitored for primary hyperparathyroidism, with hypertension and a left nephrectomy for hydrouretheronephrosis caused by recurrent kidney stones.

Thyroid metastasis from adenoid cystic carcinoma of the lung: a case report and literature review.

ACC is a malignant salivary gland-type tumour mostly found in the head and neck district, but that can arise from different organs. Due to its rarity, it can pose problems in the diagnostic and therapeutic management.
