Concomitant osteitis fibrosa cystica and ameloblastoma of the mandible.
A patient with a multiloculated cystic lesion of the mandible, and clinical as well as biological features of hyperparathyroidism is presented. This association suggesting the diagnosis of brown tumor was actually due to an ameloblastoma of the mandible. Such a concomitant association of an ameloblastoma with symptomatic hyperparathyroidism has never been reported to our knowledge.
