[Large ossifying fibroma of the jaws and hyperparathyroidism in a chronic hemodialyzed patient].
OBJECTIVE
Describe the exceptional and fortuitous character of the association of ossifying fibroma and hyperparathyroidism in a chronic hemodialyzed patient.


METHODS
A twenty-year-old man who had undergone dialysis for ten years as the result of an indeterminate nephropathy was admitted for a functional disability in the standing position and a serious dysmorphic syndrome with swelling of the jaws that hindered proper closure of the mouth.


RESULTS
Medical imagery revealed a polyostotic attack pleading in favor of renal osteodystrophy or a fibrous dysplasia. The surgical reduction of the tumor of the jaws shown, from the histological viewpoint, a large aggressive ossifying fibroma of the jaws.


CONCLUSIONS
The association of ossifying fibroma and hyperparathyroidism in a chronic hemodialyzed patient is exceptional and fortuitous. The difficult treatment points out the need for early rigorous prevention of hyperparathyroidism in a chronic hemodialyzed patient.
