EVOLUTION AND REGRESSION IN BONE-PRIMARY HYPERPARATHYROIDISM
Abstract
Primary hyperparathyroidism is still predominantly
a symptomatic disease in India,
though largely asymptomatic in the
western world. The bone is the most
commonly affected organ and the classic
bone disease of primary hyperparathyroidism,
osteitis fibrosa cystica, is characterized
by subperiosteal bone resorption,
osteopenia, and brown tumors. Regression
and healing of these lesions are
expected after normalization of hyperparathyroidism
subsequent to parathyroidectomy,
however in some cases these
brown tumours may grow despite normalization
of parathyroid hormone. The
present case describes this phenomenon
of evolution and regression of brown tumors
in a young lactating lady
