Skeletal brown tumours are relatively uncommon, and brown tumours that involve multiple bones are considered very rare. We describe a 29-year-old woman with chronic renal failure (CRF) who had undergone hemodialysis for 21 years and developed multiple brown tumours associated with severe secondary hyperparathyroidism. Computed tomography (CT) revealed multiple brown tumours involving scapula, ribs, spine and sacroiliac bone. Microscopic analysis of the brown tumour showed dense infiltration of the marrow space by reactive fibroblastic tissue with irregularly distributed multinucleated osteoclastic giants cells and marked increase in hematopoietic elements.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.

D012080 Chronic Kidney Disease-Mineral and Bone Disorder Decalcification of bone or abnormal bone development due to chronic KIDNEY DISEASES, in which 1,25-DIHYDROXYVITAMIN D3 synthesis by the kidneys is impaired, leading to reduced negative feedback on PARATHYROID HORMONE. The resulting SECONDARY HYPERPARATHYROIDISM eventually leads to bone disorders.
