Brown tumors are an uncommon entity associated with hyperparathyroidism.
Initially described with primary hyperparathyroidism, with the widespread use of
dialysis, they were also seen to be associated with secondary and tertiary
hyperparathyroidism. These are lytic, expansile lesions causing bony pains, and
depending on the size and extent, skeletal dysmorphism. The present case
illustrates the detection of parathyroid adenoma with multiple brown tumors on
(99m)Tc-sestamibi parathyroid scintigraphy in a patient presenting with facial
dysmorphism and multiple bony pains.
