Management Modalities of Aggressive Brown Tumor of the Jaws —a Case Series
We report a case series of four patients who presented with brown tumor of both maxilla and mandible. A complete assessment of the medical history, blood investigations and radiological findings combined with biopsy results is necessary for a correct diagnosis. The standard treatment of the Brown tumors is not a surgical resection, but the treatment of the cause of the tumor, which in this case is hyperparathyroidism. However in our case, the extent of the lesion and the non resolution after the parathyroidectomy necessitated a surgical approach in two of our patients however two responded well to medical management alone....

Outcome of surgical parathyroidectomy for tertiary hyperparathyroidism in kidney transplant recipients: tertiary hyperparathyroidism should not be ignored, for the sake of precious allografts
Ren Fail. 2024 Dec;46(1):2333919. doi: 10.1080/0886022X.2024.2333919. Epub 2024 Apr 4.ABSTRACTTertiary hyperparathyroidism is a complication of kidney transplantation. This complicated condition carries over from the dialysis period and varies according to the function of the transplanted allograft. Treatments include pharmacotherapy (mainly using calcimimetics) and parathyroidectomy, but calcimimetics are currently not covered by the national insurance system in Japan. Two types of parathyroidectomy can be performed: subtotal parathyroidectomy; and total parathyroidectomy with partial autograft. Both types can be expected...
