HighlightsBrown tumor may present as uni/multilocular osteolytic lesions with bone expansion, bone pain or pathologic fracture in primary, secondary and tertiary hyperparathyroidism. Recently, such presentation is rare because of early detection before symptomatic bone lesions appear due to improved blood screening techniques.The reported case is a 65-year-old female presented with recurrent hyperparathyroidism and a tumoral mass in her jaw.Although recurrent Hypercalcemia with high serum PTH level, jaw tumor, and bilateral parathyroid adenomas in99mTc-MIBI parathyroid scintigraphy suggesting HPT-JT, her old age, lack of similar familial history, absence of nonendocrine malignancy as well as evidence of malignancy in the patient's parathyroid pathology, this diagnosis was not supported.
