Brown tumor is a non-neoplastic bone lesion that develops secondary to hyperparathyroidism and it is very rare in the maxillofacial region. We report the case of a 59-year-old man who presented with pain and a swelling in the left cheek. Computed tomography (CT) demonstrated an expansile and radioluscent lesion in the left maxillary sinus. Incisional biopsy was performed, and the diagnosis was Brown tumor. Brown tumor must be considered in the differential diagnosis of expansile lesions of maxillary sinus.
棕色瘤是一种继发于甲状旁腺功能亢进的非肿瘤性骨病变,在颌面部区域非常罕见。我们报告一例59岁男性患者,其左侧脸颊出现疼痛和肿胀。计算机断层扫描(CT)显示左上颌窦有一个膨胀性、透光性病变。进行了切开活检,诊断为棕色瘤。在上颌窦膨胀性病变的鉴别诊断中必须考虑棕色瘤。
