Abstract

Brown tumor of the larynx is extremely rare. We describe a patient with long-standing primary hyperparathyroidism and severe skeletal involvement associated with brown tumors of the axial and appendicular skeleton and of the thyroid cartilage. Ossification of the laryngeal skeleton may explain the presence of this process in this unusual location.
