Primary hyperparathyroidism with brown tumor mimicking metastatic bone malignancy.
Bone and joint pain are commonly encountered conditions in daily practice. In the elderly, when osteolytic lesions are identified in imaging studies, metastatic bone tumor is the first impression that comes to the clinician's mind. Although the worst-case scenario should be ruled in, other differential diagnoses such as metabolic bone disease should be considered as well. We report a case of br...
متن کاملPrimary hyperparathyroidism-related brown tumors mimicking other giant cell-containing skeletal tumors: role of correlative imaging in diagnosis.
A patient initially suspected of having a giant cell granuloma was subsequently found-through additional imaging with (99m)Tc-sestamibi and ultrasound-to have osteolytic brown tumors caused by a parathyroid adenoma. Brown tumors that relate to primary hyperparathyroidism may mimic other skeletal tumors that contain giant cells, presenting difficulty with accurate diagnosis. Correlative imaging ...
متن کاملBilateral Brown Tumors of Maxilla with Primary Hyperparathyroidism
On examination, a 7-8 cm sized non-tender, immobile, smooth surfaced, hard mass was palpated beneath the right nasolabial fold. Another mass around 1-1.5 cm in size was palpated beneath the left nasolabial fold (Figure 1). Anterior rhinoscopy revealed a round, mucosal-covered mass extending along the floor and lateral wall of nose into the right nasal vestibule. No proptosis or extra-ocular mus...
متن کاملPrimary Hyperparathyroidism with Extensive Brown Tumors and Multiple Fractures in a 20-Year-Old Woman
A brown tumor is a benign fibrotic, erosive bony lesion caused by localized, rapid osteoclastic turnover, resulting from hyperparathyroidism. Although brown tumors are one of the most pathognomonic signs of primary hyperparathyroidism, they are rarely seen in clinical practice. In this report, we present a case of 20-year-old woman with recurrent fractures and bone pain. Plain digital radiograp...
