The clinical and pathologic findings in a case of primary hyperoxaluria and calcium oxalate nephrocalcinosis in a 7-year-old boy are described and discussed in relation to similar reported cases. The diagnosis was suspected because of nephrocalcinosis in the absence of an abnormality of calcium metabolism and proven by the demonstration of increased urinary excretion of oxalate. Splenomegaly and yellow deposits in the Meibomian glands are described.
