Abstract
Despite the fact that brown tumor is the hallmark of hyperparathyroidism, it is very rarely observed at present due to early laboratory detection of elevated parathyroid hormone level. The unusual occurrence of this entity in everyday practice is a concern not only for patients, but also for physicians, as it can be mistaken for other lytic bone lesions. If the full continuum of clinical, laboratory and radiological findings is considered, a diagnosis can easily be made. Herein, we report a case of polystotic brown tumor presenting with thoracic cord compression secondary to vertebral pathological fracture.
