Abstract
Primary Hyperparathyroidism presents uncommonly with unusual clinical manifestations in ectopically located Parathyroid gland adenomas. Brown tumor is an osseous lesion that can develop in bones affected by primary or secondary hyperparathyroidism. We report a case of a 29- year-old woman with diffuse brown tumor and ectopic mediastinal parathyroid gland adenoma.

Summary
Primary Hyperparathyroidism presents uncommonly with unusual clinical manifestations in ectopically located Parathyroid gland adenomas. Brown tumor is an osseous lesion that develops in bones affected by primary or secondary hyperparathyroidism, as a component of a metabolic bone disease known as osteitis fibrosa, cystica generalisata or Recklinghausen’s disease [3]. Brown tumors affect commonly the long bones, pelvic girdle, clavicle, ribs and the mandible.
