Multiple brown tumors - a rare presentation in the modern era
Clinical Nephrology
|December 1, 2017
Summary
This case study highlights a rare instance of brown tumors in a hemodialysis patient with hyperparathyroidism (HPTH). Surgical removal of the parathyroid gland led to the complete resolution of these bone lesions.
Area of Science:
- Nephrology
- Endocrinology
- Oncology
Background:
- Chronic kidney disease (CKD) frequently involves mineral and bone metabolism disturbances, termed CKD-MBD.
- Current understanding and management strategies for CKD-MBD, particularly hyperparathyroidism (HPTH), remain limited.
- Brown tumors are rare but significant manifestations of severe secondary HPTH.

Tumor progression is a phenomenon where the pre-formed tumor acquires successive mutations to become clinically more aggressive and malignant. In the 1950s, Foulds first described the stepwise progression of cancer cells through successive stages.
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...

Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
