Brown tumors are rare focal giant-cell lesions that arise as a direct result of the effect of parathyroid hormone (PTH) on bone tissue in some patients with hyperparathyroidism. Browns tumor is a syndrome associated with an increase in PTH levels by parathyroid glands resulting in hypercalcemia. In the present case report, a 44-year-old female patient presented with a rare case of brown tumor with multiple lesions in the head-and-neck region. The recent advance in various diagnostic and biochemical tests helps in early diagnosis of hyperparathyroidism cases. The dentist should be aware of oral manifestations associated with this type of systemic disease.
棕色瘤是一种罕见的局灶性巨细胞病变，是一些甲状旁腺功能亢进患者甲状旁腺激素（PTH）作用于骨组织的直接结果。棕色瘤是一种与甲状旁腺导致PTH水平升高并引起高钙血症相关的综合征。在本病例报告中，一名44岁女性患者出现了罕见的头颈部多发棕色瘤病例。各种诊断和生化检查的最新进展有助于甲状旁腺功能亢进病例的早期诊断。牙医应了解与这类全身性疾病相关的口腔表现。
