Abstract:
A brown tumor is a non-cancerous bone lesion that develops due to excessive parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels and can result in bone resorption, ultimately contributing to skeletal deformities. We describe one rare case of a patient on Hemodialysis who develops a brown tumor of multiple facial bones due to Tertiary Hyperparathyroidism.
