Hungry bone syndrome in a child following parathyroid surgery.

The rare hungry bone syndrome was encountered in a 15-year-old child after the removal of a parathyroid adenoma. Contrary to the hypocalcemias caused by the removal of all parathyroid glands or transient ischemia after parathyroid surgery, in which the serum inorganic phosphorus level is usually normal, both serum calcium and inorganic phosphorus levels are decreased in hungry bone syndrome in the early postoperative period. Vigorous calcium supplementation and vitamin D are required for prolonged periods.

Adenoma

Polyorchidism.

Polyorchidism, defined as the presence of more than two histologically proven testes, is a rare entity. A review of the literature has yielded 46 cases of true polyorchidism suitable for consideration in this review, and we add two more, one of them being the 12th case of complete duplication of the testis reported in the literature.
