    BackgroundLeontiasis ossea is a rare medical condition, with characteristic overgrowth of the facial and cranial bones. Reports about this uremic complication are less frequently reported, probably due to better dialysis and better medical control of secondary hyperparathyroidism.Description Of CaseWe report the case of a 36-year-old female patient who had been treated with chronic hemodialysis and who developed secondary hyperparathyroidism.ConclusionIn noncompliant patients with uncontrolled secondary hyperparathyroidism uremic leontiasis may develop in which case the treatment is rarely successful or may even be contraindicated due to other comorbid conditions.
