Abstract

We report here a case of hyperparathyroidism with disseminated brown tumors mimicking malignancy. The important clinical teaching of our case is that hyperparathyroidism can take various aspects. Plasma parathyroid hormone concentration should be measured in all patients with multiple bone lesions.

Keywords: Brown tumor; hypercalcemia; hyperparathyroidism; lytic bone lesion.
