[Multiple brown tumours in a patient with tertiary hyperparathyroidism].
We describe the case of a 49-year-old female with chronic renal failure and secondary hyperparathyroidism that not dissapeared after kidney transplant and turned into an autonomous form (tertiary hyperparathyroidism). The xRays and CT showed the presence of multiple brown tumors in iliac bones and tibia. We performed a parathyroidectomy removing a lower left adenoma confirmed in the histological exam the renal. After the surgery the osteoarticular manifestations improved and lithiasis dissapeared. There were not any postoperative complications such as hypocalcemia or recurrential palsy although Nephrology Department had to control her renal function.
