Abstract
A patient with hyperparathyroidism secondary to chronic renal failure had multiple bony lesions with increased activity on both immediate st atic as well as delayed scintiphotos. One lesion in the distal femur w as also exceptionally hot on the flow phase. Plain radiographs demonst rated lytic lesions with sclerotic margins and a narrow zone of transi tion. Open biopsy revealed histology consistent with brown tumor (oste oclastoma).
