[Brown tumors of upper and lower jaws in Recklinghausen neurofibromatosis. A case report]. / Tumori brune ale maxilarului si mandibulei in neurofibromatoza Recklinghausen. Observatii pe marginea unui caz.

We report the case of a 41-year-old patient who presented multiple cafe au lait spots and exophytic tumors of the upper jaw, causing facial asymmetry and masticatory impairment. Physical examination and paraclinical investigations established the diagnosis of NF1 (type 1 neurofibromatosis) associated with brown tumors in jaws and left nasal bone, caused by a primary hyperparathyroidism (Oxyphilic adenoma). The parathyroidectomy determines brown tumors regression and sclerosis with no dependence on their localization.
