Primary hyperparathyroidism is due to abnormal parathyroid hormone production of various causes. Bone and kidney are target organs of the disease (1). A 40 years old female patient from Dire Dawa presented with leg pain of three months duration. Serum calcium, alkaline phosphatase and creatinine were elevated X-rays show renal stone, bone resorption and brown tumor. Abdominal ultrasound showed left hydronephrosis. Color and power Doppler ultrasound of the neck showed hypo echoic retro thyroid vascular mass. The epidemiological and clinical feature, x-ray and ultrasound findings are briefly discussed.

This report concerns a rare case of multiple brown tumours discovered in a setting of primary hyperparathyroidism in a 64-year-old patient presenting with weight loss and leg pain. Biological, radiological and pathological findings led to the diagnosis of brown tumours. The contribution of anatomic and nuclear imaging techniques to the diagnosis of brown tumours and their aetiological assessment as well as pre-surgery localisation of parathyroid adenomas in the context of primary hyperparathyroidism is discussed.
