title: Mandibular mass in a child on hemodialysis.
abstract: We here with report a 13-year-old female patient on regular hemodialysis for the past five years who presented with a large mandibular mass.

The tumor did not regress even with intensive treatment with intravenous active vitamin D and needed surgical removal.
