Bone scintigraphy is a commonly used screening tool in medicine. Brown tumor can be a rare skeletal manifestation of advanced hyperparathyroidism. Primer hyperparathyroidism presents with hypercalcaemia and hypophosphatemia and it can mimic metastatic bone disease. We described a 65-year-old woman who has referred for generalized pain exacerbating on movement and increased uptake in the ribs, proximal of the left femur neck suggestive of metastatic lesions by whole body bone scintigraphy. However, serum calcium and phosphorus levels were normal. Parathyroid scintigraphy revealed extensive uptake in the right lower neck regions consistent with parathyroid adenoma. Parathyroidectomy was performed.
