Brown tumors associated with secondary hyperparathyroidism of chronic renal failure

J Oral Surg. 1978 Feb;36(2):154-9.

Abstract

Two cases of brown tumors associated with secondary hyperparathyroidism and chronic renal failure are reported. Both patients underwent excision of the tumor because of mechanical interference. Subsequent parathyroidectomy has substantially improved the general status of the patients.
