Brown tumours are localized bone lesions, seen in patients with high parathyroid hormone levels. This can be due to primary hyperparathyroidism, which occurs more often in neoplasms of the parathyroid gland or due to secondary hyperparathyroidism more often seen as a result of renal impairment. Facial involvement is rare, with most reports focusing on long and axial bones. However, the mandibular bone is often the only bone affected. Here, we report a rare case of a bi-maxillary attainment of brown tumour in a patient with secondary hyperparathyroidism due to chronic kidney disease.
棕色瘤是局限性骨病变,见于甲状旁腺激素水平高的患者。这可能是由于原发性甲状旁腺功能亢进,其在甲状旁腺肿瘤中更常见,或者是由于继发性甲状旁腺功能亢进,更常见于肾功能损害的结果。面部受累罕见,大多数报道集中在长骨和中轴骨。然而,下颌骨通常是唯一受累的骨骼。在此,我们报告一例因慢性肾病导致继发性甲状旁腺功能亢进的患者双侧上颌骨出现棕色瘤的罕见病例。
