Brown tumor is a rare complication of secondary hyperparathyroidism. It is exceptionally encountered after kidney transplantation. We here report on a 54-year-old male recipient who developed a brown tumor localized in the right forearm, and whose initial presentation was atypical, mimicking a bone tumor. Hence, diagnosis of brown tumors should be suggested by clinicians in a context of hyperparathyroidism.
棕色瘤是继发性甲状旁腺功能亢进的一种罕见并发症。在肾移植后极为少见。我们在此报告一名54岁男性受者,其右前臂出现了一个棕色瘤,其最初表现不典型,类似骨肿瘤。因此,临床医生在甲状旁腺功能亢进的情况下应考虑棕色瘤的诊断。
