Brown tumor of the mandible associated with secondary hyperparathyroidism: a case report and review of the literature.
Brown tumors are rare lesions that can develop in persistent cases of hyperparathyroidism (HPT). Therefore, identification of these lesions by diagnostic imaging is important during the follow-up of patients with HPT. This report describes a 45-year-old woman who developed HPT-induced brown tumors that appeared initially as an oral lesion. The diagnosis, treatment, and control of the disease--as well as the histopathological characteristics--are emphasized.
