Brown tumour of mandible in association with tertiary hyperparathyroidism: A rare case report

Abstract

Hyperparathyroidism (HPT) is a disease characterised by the parathyroid glands secreting excessive amounts of parathyroid hormone because of a defect in the secretion mechanism of parathyroid hormone. Because of this, the production of parathyroid hormone and primary, secondary and tertiary forms of HPT can be seen.
