title: Osteoclastomas ('brown tumours') and spinal cord compression: a review.
abstract: Brown tumours are an uncommon manifestation of primary and secondary hyperparathyroidism. There are numerous case reports of brown tumours arising in various parts of the skeleton. They can therefore present a wide range of clinical manifestations. A recent case highlighted the need for heightened awareness of the diagnosis and prompted a literature review.
