ABSTRACT
Brown tumors are rare skeletal anomalies occurring in patients with hyperparathyroidism and exposing patients to pathological fractures. We report the case of a 26-year-old woman with severe primary hyperparathyroidism (calcemia, 2.9 mmol/L; parathyroid hormone, 59 pmol/L) who underwent F-fluorocholine (FCH) PET/CT before parathyroidectomy. FCH PET localized the hyperfunctioning parathyroid gland and showed multiple foci in correspondence with bone lytic lesions on CT. Those lesions were not visible on the Tc-MIBI dual-phase scintigraphy. The pathology of one of the FCH-positive bone lesions corresponded to a brown tumor related to hyperparathyroidism.
