Abstract:
Brown tumor of bone is a severe form of skeletal complication in patients with hyperparathyroidism. The main sites of involvement are the mandible, sternum, ribs, pelvis and femur. Involvement of the spine is less common. We report here a case of brown tumor of the spine that developed in a patient with right parathyroid adenoma.
