  • Title: Brown tumour of the spine in a renal transplant patient.
    Author: Noman Zaheer S, Byrne ST, Poonnoose SI, Vrodos NJ.
    Journal: J Clin Neurosci; 2009 Sep; 16(9):1230-2. PubMed ID: 19505828.
    Abstract:
    We report a 30-year-old male who had undergone a renal transplant and suffered with secondary hyperparathyroidism. He presented with back pain and minimal neurological deterioration, caused by a thoracic brown tumour. The imaging findings, surgical treatment of the spinal lesion and outcome are discussed. We also discuss primary medical therapy and suggest a rational approach to further imaging of patients in whom brown tumour is suspected.
