Brown tumor of the spine revealing secondary hyperparathyroidism. Report of a case.

Brown tumors are classic skeletal manifestations of hyperparathyroidism usually seen in severe forms with subperiosteal bone resorption. They are exceedingly rare at the spine. We report the case of a woman on hemodialysis who developed two brown tumors, including one at the spine, as the first manifestations of secondary hyperparathyroidism.

[Arthropathies of patients on hemodialysis for more than 10 years: retrospective study].

Joint problems have been retrospectively analyzed in 10 uremic patients (mean age, 61.9 years; range, 50-70) undergoing long-term hemodialysis treatment for more than 10 years. All the patients suffered from arthralgias which were mainly localized in the shoulder region (9 patients).
