Abstract
Brown tumours are rare bone lesions occurring in patients with severe hyperparathyroidism (HPT) because of increased osteoclastic activity due to high levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH). We report the case of 30-year-old woman with secondary hyperparathyroidism due to severe chronic kidney diseases who underwent [18F]F-choline PET/CT scan for localization of the hyperfunctioning parathyroid gland before surgical treatment. [18F]F-choline PET/CT scan showed increased choline uptake in the lower left parathyroid gland and in multiple bone lytic lesions. Multiple focal choline uptake in bone corresponded to brown tumours - fibrous osteitis cystica.
棕色肿瘤是发生在严重甲状旁腺功能亢进(HPT)患者中的罕见骨病变,其原因是由于甲状旁腺激素(PTH)高水平导致破骨细胞活性增加。我们报告一例因严重慢性肾脏疾病而继发性甲状旁腺功能亢进的30岁女性,在手术治疗前接受了[18F] f -胆碱PET/CT扫描以定位功能亢进的甲状旁腺。[18F] f -胆碱PET/CT扫描显示左下甲状旁腺和多发骨溶解病变中胆碱摄取增加。骨多发局灶胆碱摄取与棕色肿瘤-囊性纤维性骨炎相对应。
