Objectives: Osteopenia is considerably more common than osteoporosis and accounts for most of the fracture burden in women older than 50 years. It is uncertain when to initiate treatment in osteopenia. We sought to determine in women with osteopenia what effect transitioning to lower categories had on subsequent fracturing. Methods:…

Missed Brown Tumors in a Young Adult with Decreased Bone Density

Brown tumors, a benign osteolytic process, are most commonly caused by hyperparathyroidism. Multiple bone involvement is relatively rare. There are many similarities in the radiologic and histological features of brown tumors and giant cell tumors (GCTs) of bone. Differentiation between the two lesions is dependent upon evaluation of serum biochemistry…

Low Bone Mineral Density in Premenopausal Women

With the proliferation of bone densitometers, an increasing number of premenopausal women are having their bone density tested. Approximately 15% of premenopausal women have bone mineral density that is more than 1 standard deviation less than the young-adult mean, and approximately 0.6% are more than 2.5 standard deviation below young-adult…
