Maxillary Brown Tumor as Manifestation of Renal Osteodystrophy

Maxillomandibular brown tumor - a rare complication of chronic renal failure

“…Clinically significant lesions in the jaws are rare, especially in the pediatric population. To the best of our knowledge, only five cases of maxillary brown tumors in children and adolescents with secondary hyperparathyroidism (HPTH) have been previously reported [2,3,4,5,6]. We present a 17-year-old hemodialysis patient with a maxillomandibular invasive brown tumor.…”

Brown Tumor as Manifestation of Parathyroid Hyperplasia in Two Cases with End-Stage Renal Failure

“…Furthermore, fibrosis is shown in the bone marrow [1, 2]. Brown tumor is a rare variant of osteitis fibrosa [3, 4, 5, 6]. We report 2 cases with brown tumor due to uncontrolled hyperparathyroidism.…”

“…Brown tumor is a form of severe osteitis fibrosa that is rarely reported [3, 4, 5]. Brown tumors are frequently found together with parathyroid adenomas (tertiary hyperparathyroidism).…”

“…Brown tumors are frequently found together with parathyroid adenomas (tertiary hyperparathyroidism). Although some successful results with high doses of intravenous alfacalcidol have been reported [4], parathyroidectomy is usually needed to suppress PTH and the regression of brown tumor [3, 5]. If there are some symptoms due to extension of the mass, surgical mass removal must be done [3].…”

“…Parathyroidectomy was chosen as primary therapy for the brown tumor. Total or subtotal parathyroidectomy has been useful in most cases [3, 5, 6]. We chose parathyroidectomy to decrease the PTH level.…”
