Abstract

A 15-year-old Black patient was found to have primary hyperparathyroidism associated with rickets - an exceedingly rare feature. The possibility of nutritional rickets associated with tertiary hyperparathyroidism is discussed. Healing of rickets occurred after parathyroidectomy and administration of vitamin D with calcium supplements.
