Brown Tumor of Primary Hyperparathyroidism Mimicking a Periapical Lesion
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
Abstract: Brown tumors are benign giant cell lesions associated with hyperparathyroidism which can be primary, secondary or tertiary. It usually occurs in the long bones: tibia, femur, clavicle, pelvis rim, ribs and the mandible, but it is rarely involved in the maxilla. It can therefore be the first sign to diagnose an hyperparathyroidism. A rare case of maxillary brown tumor mimicking a periapical lesion in a 32-year-old woman was reported. This case highlights the importance of a detailed examination in case of giant cell lesion, including the oral cavity and the whole body in order to detect eventual systemic problems and to emphasize the necessity of taking into consideration the differential diagnosis of periapical lesions.
