Abstract
Osteitis fibrosa cystica or brown tumor is a rare skeletal manifestation
of hyperparathyroidism. Awareness of this condition is imperative to
making a correct diagnosis. We present a case with multiple pathological
fractures who had undergone extensive workup for malignancy before
reaching the definitive diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism.20 Aug 2022Submitted to Clinical Case Reports 22 Aug 2022Assigned to Editor
