Two large heterodyne lytic expansile lesions are seen in the right iliac bone and pubic ramus. A few small masses with heterogeneous lytic appearance are also scattered bilaterally.
A transplanted kidney is noted in the right iliac fossa.
Case Discussion
The findings in a patient with secondary hyperparathyroidism due to end stage renal disease are most consistent with brown tumors.
