Successful treatment of severe secondary hyperparathyroidsm (Brown tumor) by kidney transplantation and pulses of oral calcitriol.

Brown tumor is an extreme form of severe hyperparathyroid bone disease in end-stage renal disease patients. The evolution of the tumor after renal transplantation and under conservative treatment is still unclear. Herein, we report a 22-yr-old girl with parathyroid glandular hyperplasia because of an inadequate compliance and control of the mineral metabolism and subsequently developed Brown tumor of the ribs.
