Resumen
Introduction: Brown tumor is a rare pathology resulting from
uncontrolled hyperparathyroidism, which produces areas of
localized bone destruction. They are present at the facial level in the mandible and
maxilla, ribs, clavicle, pelvic waist and
upper and lower extremities. Its name is given by the pigmentation of the extravasation of
blood and hemosiderin to the
tumor. It can manifest itself in any decade of life. Has greater predisposition in women of
the fourth and fifth decade of
life. Its presence at the level of maxillary bones requires a complex system of studies and
multidisciplinary management for
diagnostic confirmation and treatment. Clinical case: The case of a 36 year old patient with
no personal or family history
is reported. She comes by referral for placement of a bone graft for dental mobility. In the
image evaluation, there is a
right radiolucent zone in the body of the mandible, in relation to the teeth. The lesion
usually presents as a well-delimited
unilateral or multilocular radiolucent area; another important radiographic finding in
hyperparathyroidism is the absence
of hard laminae around the dental organs. Conclusions: The brown tumor should be considered
as a differential diagnosis
of mandibular tumors due to the fact that not every tumor has a primary etiology
