Brown tumour is one of the forms in which fibrous cyctic osteitis, which represents the terminal stage of the bone remodelling processes during hyperparathyroidism, is manifested. In histological terms, Brown tumours are made up by a cell population consisting of plurinucleate giant cells, resembling osteoclastic cells, among which recent haemohagic infiltrates and homosiderin deposits (hence the Brown colour) are ofen
found.
For years Brown tumour was regarded as a typical lesion of primary hyperparathyroidism, but cases of Brown tumour in patients with hyperparathyroidism secondary to renal failure
were increasingly often reported in the literature. Keywords: Brown tumour, hyperparathyroidism, renal failure
