title: A thoracic vertebral brown tumor presenting with paraparesis in a patient with end-stage renal disease.
abstract: Vertebral brown tumors are rare, non-neoplastic bone lesions that occur in the setting of hyperparathyroidism. There are differences in the management of them in the literature. Because brown tumors usually resolve after a parathyroidectomy. We present a case of a thoracic vertebral brown tumor with paraparesis.
