Abstract
Osteitis fibrosa describes the bone changes seen in renal osteodystrophy secondary to longstanding hyperparathyroidism. We report a 19-year-old man with longstanding chronic renal failure with a severe form of osteitis fibrosa affecting the jaws and other maxillofacial bones causing bizarre facial and dental deformity in a patient-uraemic leontiasis ossea.
