Brown Tumor of maxilla mimicking carcinoma upper alveolus: case report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
Hyperparathyroidism may rarely present as Brown tumor of maxilla, which at times is difficult to differentiate from malignancy. In situations, where multiple biopsies are inconclusive for malignancy, a high index of suspicion should be there to rule out hyperparathyroidism. Morbid surgery of maxilla is not to be done in such a scenario. Keywords:Brown tumour, parathyroidadenoma, carcinomaupperalveolus.
