Brown tumors are an uncommon manifestation of primary and secondary hyperparathyroidism. We report a 38 years old male consulting for generalized bone pain and prostration caused by multiple osteolytic lesions. Diagnostic work up disclosed a primary hyperparathyroidism secondary to a right parathyroid adenoma. The patient was subjected to a parathyroidectomy. After one year of follow up, symptoms have decreased considerably, laboratory parameters are normal and bone lesions are disappearing.
