Manejo quirúrgico de tumor pardo en metacarpo. Reporte de caso / Surgical management of Metacarpal brown tumor. A case report

El tumor pardo, también conocido como osteoclastoma ó como osteítis fibrosa quística, es un tumor lítico, que se presenta en hiperparatiroidismo (primario, secundario y terciario), aunque su presentación habitual es altamente invasiva, no tiene potencial de malignidad. Los tumores pardos en la mano son muy poco frecuentes y existen solo algunos reportes de casos. Presentamos un paciente masculino de 18 años con una tumoración dura, no móvil, adherida a planos profundos en región dorsal de la mano derecha sobre el cuarto metacarpiano, que además limita la flexión y extensión del cuarto dedo sin alterar su función neurovascular. El paciente fue sometido a resección de la tumoración que involucraba por completo al cuarto metacarpiano derecho, además se realizó un abordaje lateral directo en miembro pelvico izquierdo para tomar un injerto autólogo de peroné no vascularizado. Es importante la detección temprana de este tipo de tumores y se debe dar un adecuado seguimiento, ya que, al progresar, generan una destrucción ósea importante y el tratamiento se vuelve de mayor complejidad. En etapas tempranas, el manejo agresivo con resección y aporte óseo puede evitar secuelas funcionales. El uso de injerto no vascularizado de peroné de seis centímetros para la sustitución del cuarto metacarpiano por osteolísis secundaria a un tumor pardo es una alternativa adecuada de tratamiento que permite la preservación estético funcional de la mano.

The brown tumour, also known as osteoclastoma, or as osteitis fibrosa cystica, is a lytic tumour, which occurs in hyperparathyroidism (primary, secondary, and tertiary), although its usual presentation is highly invasive, has no potential for malignancy. Brown tumours of the hand are sporadic, and there are only few case reports. The case is presented of an 18-year-old male patient with a solid, non-mobile tumour, adhered to deep planes, in the dorsal region of the right hand over the fourth metacarpal. This also limited the flexion and extension of the fourth finger, but did not show alterations in the neurovascular function of the finger. The patient underwent a tumour resection that completely involved the right fourth metacarpal. A direct lateral approach was made in the left pelvic limb to perform a non-vascularised autologous fibular graft. Early detection of this type of tumour is important, and an adequate follow-up must be carried out, since when they progress, they generate significant bone destruction and the treatment becomes more complex. In early stages, aggressive management of resection and bone support can prevent functional sequelae.

Brown Tumour of Hyperparathyroidism, a benign latency in the jaws: A Review of Literature. Literature.

Background: To inculcate awareness about the importance of thorough screening of the patients presenting with giant cell lesions in the jaw bones for clinical, biochemical and radiological features of hyperparathyroidism. Material and Methods: The history, physical examination, laboratory values, imaging and pathologic findings are described in a 32-year-old woman, presenting with brown tumour lesion in mandible, due to primary hyperparathyroidism. A systematic review of published literature from PubMed is added, which highlights the importance of a thorough diagnostic workup and selection of appropriate treatment modality. Results: In the case presented, after Parathyroid adenoma excision, within thirty minutes, the serum values of Parathormone and Calcium returned to normalcy and spontaneous regression of the brown tumour was noted. Also, the review of literature emphasized the need for systemic investigations of suspected giant cell jaw lesions and established that parathyroidectomy can be considered the primary treatment modality for brown tumours of the jaw due to hyperparathyroidism. Conclusion: Radiolucent lesions of the jaws showing giant cells on histopathology should raise suspicion of hyperparathyroidism. This case emphasizes the importance of a detailed systemic investigation for all lesions in the maxillofacial region.

Bilateral maxillary osteoplasty with esthetic purpose in patient with secondary hyperparathyroidism-related brown tumor: case report

Introduction and Objective: To report a case of a patient with secondary hyperparathyroidism that developed brown tumour in bilateral maxilla surgically managed with bilateral osteoplasty for aesthetic reasons. Case report: A 46 years-old woman patient with chronic kidney disease with complain of a painless bilateral growth on the maxilla, beginning 10 years before that ceased after surgical removal of the parathyroid eight years before. A CT scan showed a diffuse and heterogeneous bone lesion, with lytic areas and increased multilobulated volume on the maxilla, bilaterally. The surgery was an osteoplasty of the maxilla bone and performed under general anaesthesia. At 16-month follow-up, no recurrence was observed and the patient is satisfied with aesthetic and functional results. Conclusion: Secondary hyperparathyroidism related with oral brown tumour is a rare condition that affects function and aesthetic. The case reported in this paper was appropriately managed, achieving patient expectation and improving her life quality.

Osteodistrofia renal y trastornos del metabolismo y la mineralización ósea asociados a enfermedad renal crónica: manifestaciones en radiología / Renal osteodystrophy and disorders of bone metabolism and mineralisation associated with chronic kidney disease: radiological manifestations

Abstract. Chronic kidney disease is a public health problem worldwide, with disorders of bone mineralisation and metabolism being common problems associated with this disease, causing significant morbidity and impaired quality of life. The expression of the findings in the chronic kidney disease can be categorised based on the classification proposed by the international conference Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes, that divides them into metabolic disorders of calcium and phosphorus (without findings in radiology), bone structure and composition disorders, and extra-skeletal calcifications. These conditions give characteristic radiographic patterns, such as bone resorption and sclerosis, brown tumours, osteomalacia-rickets, osteopenia, and extra-skeletal calcifications, in addition to treatment related disorders of chronic kidney failure. In this article, concepts related to metabolism disorders and bone mineralisation associated with chronic renal disease and renal osteodystrophy will be categorised and updated, showing their various manifestations in radiology.

La enfermedad renal crónica es un problema de salud pública a nivel mundial, siendo los trastornos de la mineralización y el metabolismo óseo problemas comunes asociados a esta enfermedad, que causan una importante morbilidad y un deterioro de la calidad de vida. La expresión de los hallazgos en la enfermedad renal crónica puede sistematizarse con base en la clasificación propuesta por la conferencia internacional Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes, que las divide en trastornos del metabolismo del calcio y el fósforo (sin hallazgos en imágenes), alteración de la estructura y la composición del hueso, y calcificaciones extraesqueléticas. Estos trastornos otorgan patrones radiológicos característicos, como son la resorción y esclerosis ósea, tumores pardos, osteomalacia-raquitismo, osteopenia y calcificaciones extraesqueléticas, además de los trastornos asociados al tratamiento de la falla renal crónica. En el presente artículo se sistematizarán y actualizarán los conceptos relacionados con los trastornos del metabolismo y la mineralización ósea, asociados a la enfermedad renal crónica y la osteodistrofia renal, mostrando sus diversas manifestaciones en radiología.

Parathyroid cancer presenting with Brown tumours mimicking bone metastasis

Bone metastasis is the most common diagnosis considered for lytic lesions in the bone. Parathyroid cancer presenting as overt bone disease with diffuse lytic lesions secondary to untreated hyperparathyroidism (HPT) is a rare entity nowadays. We report the case of a 50-year-old Chinese lady who presented with diffuse bone lesions consistent with Brown tumours, vertebral body collapse and hypercalcaemia mimicking bone metastasis and was later diagnosed with parathyroid cancer.

Extensive Brown Tumors of Spine, Distal femur and Patella Presenting with Acute Cord Compression. A Case Report

We report a case of end stage renal failure in a patient who presented with acute cord compression and extensive brown tumour involving the spine, distal femur and patella. Brown tumours of the long bone, spine and pelvis have been documented previously. However, the occurrence of brown tumour in sesamoid bones such as the patella is extremely rare and is indicative of widespread lesions and severe secondary hyperparathyroidism. These tumours typically respond poorly to medical treatment alone. The acute c
