Mandibular brown tumor as a result of secondary hyperparathyroidism: a case report with 5 years follow-up and review of the literature
Background: Brown tumor is a rare skeletal manifestation of secondary hyperparathyroidism. Although diagnosis of the disease is increasingly seen in early stages due to improved screening techniques, some patients still present in a progressed disease stage. The treatment depends on tumor mass and v...

| Zusammenfassung: | Background: Brown tumor is a rare skeletal manifestation of secondary hyperparathyroidism. Although diagnosis of the disease is increasingly seen in early stages due to improved screening techniques, some patients still present in a progressed disease stage. The treatment depends on tumor mass and varies from a conservative approach with supportive parathyroidectomy to extensive surgical resection with subsequent reconstruction. Case presentation: We report a case of extensive mandibular brown tumor in a patient with a history of systemic lupus erythematosus, chronic kidney disease, and secondary hyperparathyroidism. Following radical resection of the affected bone, reconstruction could be successfully performed using a free flap. Conclusions: There were no signs of recurrence during five years of close follow-up. Increased awareness and multidisciplinary follow-ups could allow early diagnosis and prevent the need for radical therapeutical approaches. |
