ABSTRACT

Brown tumors are relatively uncommon but they are serious complications of renal osteodystrophy. We describe a 31-year-old woman with end-stage renal disease who had undergone hemodialysis for nine years and developed severe secondary hyperparathyroidism and a maxilla brown tumor despite increasing doses of oral calcitriol and calcium carbonate. The fast increase of the right maxillary bone tumor led to indication of parathyroidectomy (PTx). Despite normalization of serum PTH there was a slow regression of the mass and the patient still complained about her appearance after two-years of follow-up. Excision of the maxillary mass followed by recontouring of the maxilla was then performed, with adequate masticator rehabilitation.


Tumores marrons são relativamente incomuns mas constituem sérias complicações da osteodistrofia renal. Descrevemos o caso de uma paciente, 31 anos, com doença renal em estágio terminal, em hemodiálise há nove anos, que desenvolveu severo hiperparatireoidismo secundário com tumor marrom em maxila apesar de doses crescentes de calcitriol oral e carbonato de cálcio. O rápido aumento do tumor marrom em maxila levou à indicação de paratireoidectomia (PTx). Apesar da normalização dos níveis de PTH sérico, a regressão da massa tumoral foi lenta e a paciente questionava sobre sua aparência após dois anos de seguimento. A excisão da massa maxilar foi seguida da reconstrução com adequada função mastigatória.
