Diagnosis and Treatment of Brown Tumor in the Femur Induced by Parathyroid Carcinoma: A Case Report.

Brown tumors are rare destructive bone lesions caused by hyperparathyroidism. As their clinical symptoms, radiographic findings, and laboratory results closely mimic those of metastatic tumors or multiple myeloma, the diagnosis may often be mistaken. We report a case of a 61-year-old woman with brown tumors in both femurs due to parathyroid carcinoma.
