Brown tumor is a localized form of osteitis fibrosa cystica, being part of the hyperparathyroid bone disease. It rarely is the first manifestation of hyperparathyroidism, since nowadays, the diagnosis is made at an asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic stage. We present a case of a left superior maxillar brown tumor as the first manifestation of primary hyperparathyroidism due to a parathyroid adenoma. A parathyroidectomy was performed, and there was a regression of the bone lesion, without the need of performing other local surgical procedures.
棕色瘤是纤维囊性骨炎的一种局部表现形式，属于甲状旁腺功能亢进性骨病。它很少是甲状旁腺功能亢进的首发表现，因为如今诊断多在无症状或症状轻微阶段做出。我们报告一例左上颌棕色瘤作为甲状旁腺腺瘤所致原发性甲状旁腺功能亢进的首发表现。患者接受了甲状旁腺切除术，骨病变消退，无需进行其他局部手术。
