Brown tumor is one of the lesions that develop in patients with hyperparathyroidism. Skeletal bones including maxillo-facial ones can be the site of this lesion. Owing to the improve methods of blood analysis most of cases of primary hyperparathyroidism are diagnosed early and asymptomatically making advanced disease with bone lesions extremely rare. This article contains a case of a 43-year-old female patient who presented with palatal swelling as the first sign of primary hyperparathyroidism. The diagnosis was suggested by the histological findings and confirmed by the endocrinologic status.
Résumé
La tumeur brune représente une des lésions que l’on peut observer dans l’hyperparathyroïdisme. Elle touche les os, y compris ceux de la région maxillo-faciale. Le bilan biologique permet de diagnostiquer la plupart des cas d’hyperparathyroïdisme primaire à un stade précoce; les formes évoluées asymptomatiques sont extrémement rares. Cet article présente un cas d’hyperparathyroïdisme primaire, chez une femme de 43 ans, où la première manifestation était constituée par une tuméfaction palatine. Le diagnostic a été évoqué à l’examen histologique et confirmé par le bilan endocrinien.
