- A 63-year-old woman experienced severe right hip pain and limping for six months, with a medical history of chronic renal insufficiency.
- X-rays and CT scans revealed a significant lesion in her right hip area, leading to a biopsy that diagnosed her condition as a brown tumor linked to elevated PTH levels due to primary hyperparathyroidism, despite normal calcium levels.
- Following the surgical removal of a parathyroid adenoma, her PTH levels dropped significantly, and imaging showed complete recovery of the osteolytic lesion without needing orthopedic surgery.
