First report of secondary hyperparathyroidism,brown tumour and fracture of neck of femur:case report
A 43-year-old woman with epilepsy developedsecondary hyperparathyroidism, brown tumour andfracture of the neck of her femur during treatment withclobazam, oxcarbazepine and zonisamide.
The woman presented with right groin pain andimmobility; she had been unable to bear weight on herright lower limb for a month. She reported painful gait inthe same limb for 3-4 months before being confined to bed.For the last 7 years, she had been receiving clobazam 10mgtwice a day, oxcarbazepine 600mg twice a day andzonisamide 100mg once a day [routes not stated]. X-ray ofher pelvis revealed fracture of the neck of her right femurwith a smooth fracture margin, and features ofosteoporosis and osteomalacia. Previous X-rays 2 and3 months before diagnosis had shown a cystic lesion withinthe cortical bone of her right neck of femur calcar region, inthe same area where the fracture later occurred. Aradiological skeletal survey revealed hot spots in differentsites. Her vitamin D level was decreased, and herparathyroid hormone and alkaline phosphatase levels wereelevated.
The woman’s cyst was identified during total hiparthroplasty. Histopathology of the suspect area wassuggestive of osteitis fibrosa cystica, which are histologicalfeatures of brown tumour [outcome not stated].
