Brown Tumor of Mandible in Association with Primary Hyperparathyroidism: A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Brown tumors are giant cell focal lesion that arises as a result of abnormal bone metabolism in patients with hyperparathyroidism (HPT). The lesions localize in areas of extensive bone resorption, which is replaced by fibrovascular tissue and giant cells with abundant deposits hemorrhage and hemosiderin. A rare case of brown tumor of mandible in a 22-year-old woman is reported here. This case emphasizes the importance of a detailed systemic investigation for all lesions in the maxillofacial region and also discusses the diverse presentations associated with primary HPT.

Parathyroid adenoma involving a single parathyroid gland is the underlying cause of 80-85% of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). Skeletal system is significantly affected by PHPT. Brown tumors are known to have affinity for 99mTc-MIBI. We report a rare case of PHPT presenting with diffuse bony pain, high calcium level and significantly elevated alkaline phosphatase level. 99m<...

Introduction: Brown tumor or lesions resembling giant cell tumor is a rare sequel of hyperparathyroidism and occasionally affect jaw bones. Brown tumor is three times more common in women as compared to men. Mandible is more frequently involved than maxilla. Parathyroidectomy to control HPT is the treatment of choice for brown tumor. Case report: This paper describes a rare case report of brown...
متن کاملBrown tumor of the mandible: Magnetic susceptibility demonstrated by MRI
We present a case of a 75-year-old woman with right mandible cystic lesion and primary hyperparathyroidism. The MRI demonstrated marked loss of signal intensity on T2 gradient-echo images, suggesting intralesional hemossiderin. After an open biopsy, histology was consistent with "brown tumor." The finding of susceptibility on T2 gradient-echo images in a mandible lesion adds considerable specif...
متن کاملSurgical management of Brown Tumor of the Mandible Associated with Ectopic Primary Hyperparathyroidism
Brown tumors are considered one of the most pathognomonic skeletal changes that accompany primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). It results from excessive secretion of parathyroid hormone (parathormone or PTH). The mandible is the most involved facial bone by brown tumor. Ectopic located parathyroid adenoma is uncommon, and thus, its diagnosis and management can sometimes be challenging. Difficult...
