Tertiary Hyperparathyroidism Inducing Brown Tumour: A Rare Case

Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

Brown tumours (BTs), also known as osteitis fibrosa cystica, are non-neoplastic giant cell lesions which appear in the advanced stage of hyperparathyroidism. Patients with giant cell lesions should be screened for serum calcium, parathyroid hormone (PTH) and alkaline phosphatase. The BT may affect any part of the skeleton but is frequently found in long bones, pelvic girdle, clavicle, ribs and the mandible. The authors present a rare case of BT in tertiary hyperparathyroidism (THP) involving bilateral maxilla, left maxillary sinus, lateral wall of the nose, floor of the orbit and bilateral mandible in a 28-year-old male patient.
