    Author: Fernández-Sanromán J, Antón-Badiola IM, Costas-López A.
    Journal: Med Oral Patol Oral Cir Bucal; 2005; 10(2):169-72. PubMed ID: 15735550.
    Abstract:
    Brown tumor is one of the lesions that develop in patients with hyperparathyroidism. Any of the skeletal bones can be affected including the cranio-maxillofacial ones. Most of the times the brown tumor appears after a final diagnosis of hyperparathyroidism is made. However brown tumor can be the first clinical sign of the disease. A clinical case in which a brown tumor located in the anterior part of the mandible appears as the first sign of primary hyperparathyroidism is presented. The possible differential clinical diagnosis and the recommended treatments are revised.
