Case Reports

Spinal cοrd compression secondary to a brοwn tumοr as a first manifestation of primary hyperparathyroidism.

Brown tumors (BTs) represent the typical nonmalignant lesions of hyperparathyroidism. Mandibles, ribs, and large bones are the most usual localization of BT. The diagnosis of these tumors requires biological and radiologic assessments. Their treatment is essentially based on parathyroidectomy. ⋯ The brown tumor, when localized at the level of the spine, can be life-threatening and must be managed as soon as possible.
