Brown tumor is a bone lesion that arises in the setting of excess osteoclast activity in hyperparathyroidism. It consists of fibrous tissue, woven bone, and supporting vasculature, while contains no matrix. The characteristic of brown-colored lesion is a result of hemosiderin deposition into the osteolytic cysts. Two cases of young women aged 26 and 29 years old, respectively, are known with a history of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Dialysis is performed two times/week over the last 7 years. Our patients presented with an intraoral mass of the hard palate since 12 months ago and decreased body height of 10 cm. The lesion causes difficulties in swallowing and talking. Laboratory workup showed elevated parathormone or PTH (3.391 pg/mL and >5.000 pg/mL). Neck ultrasound showed enlargement of the parathyroid glands. Supporting examination to diagnose brown tumor are neck ultrasound, CT of the neck, and parathyroid sestamibi scan. We performed parathyroidectomy. Pathology revealed hyperplasia of the parathyroid. The tumor regressed significantly within 2 weeks following the surgery, and we still observe tumor regression as well as reduction in PTH level. As clinicians, we should be alert to other possible causes of bony lesions. Clinical examination, laboratory finding, and imaging present important information to diagnose brown tumor.
棕色瘤是一种在甲状旁腺功能亢进导致破骨细胞活性过高的情况下出现的骨病变。它由纤维组织、编织骨和支持血管组成,但不含基质。病变呈棕色是含铁血黄素沉积到溶骨性囊肿中的结果。已知有两例分别为26岁和29岁的年轻女性,有终末期肾病(ESRD)病史。在过去7年中每周进行两次透析。我们的患者自12个月前以来出现硬腭部口腔内肿物,并身高下降了10厘米。该病变导致吞咽和说话困难。实验室检查显示甲状旁腺激素或PTH升高(分别为3.391 pg/mL和>5000 pg/mL)。颈部超声显示甲状旁腺肿大。诊断棕色瘤的辅助检查有颈部超声、颈部CT和甲状旁腺 sestamibi扫描。我们进行了甲状旁腺切除术。病理显示甲状旁腺增生。术后2周内肿瘤明显消退,我们仍观察到肿瘤消退以及PTH水平降低。作为临床医生,我们应该警惕骨病变的其他可能原因。临床检查、实验室检查结果和影像学检查为诊断棕色瘤提供了重要信息。
