ABSTRACT
We report a 30-year-old male who had undergone a renal transplant and suffered with secondary hyperparathyroidism. He presented with back pain and minimal neurological deterioration, caused by a thoracic brown tumour. The imaging findings, surgical treatment of the spinal lesion and outcome are discussed. We also discuss primary medical therapy and suggest a rational approach to further imaging of patients in whom brown tumour is suspected.
