#Brown tumour revealed: A literature review with a case study by Marcelo Pinto in BJSTR
Abstract
The mandibular hyperparathyroid brown tumour is considered
a rare metabolic disorder, also known as mandibular osteoclastome,
therefore its therapy is not well defined yet; This lesion is triggered
by the excess of the production of PTH parathyroid hormone, which
are directly linked to mechanisms of control of levels of calcium,
phosphorus and vitamin D, which confers the lesions the aspect of
numerous osteoclastic cells, circumscribed and richly vascularised
Which causes their reddish-brown coloration, individuals affected
by this disorder show signs and symptoms of weakness, nausea,
fatigue, anorexia, excessive thirst, polyuria, constipation and
consequently depression, the purpose of this study is to perform
a literature review by describing the case of mandibular brown
tumour, explaining the conduct performed according to the case by
clinical, laboratory analysis and image studies that guided the case.
