Calcified Maxillary Fibroma in a Patient on Hemodialysis for Seven Years.

BACKGROUND

The presentation of mineral bone disorder (MBD) in individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) may vary. Consequently, physicians should be capable of recognising this condition when there is a suspicion of its existence. This case report will describe a calcified maxilla tumour as a manifestation of CKD-MBD.

CASE DESCRIPTION

Initially asymptomatic, a 32-year-old female presented with progressive swelling of the upper left jaw. She had a history of routine haemodialysis. Further laboratory, radiological, and histopathological workup revealed the mass was indeed calcified maxillary fibroma arising from the manifestation of CKD-MBD.

CONCLUSION

This study underscores the significance of clinical comprehension of the broad-spectrum manifestations of CKD-MBD, including an initially asymptomatic mass. In addition, the screening of the patient's biochemical was required to determine the necessity of early intervention and improve the patient's outcome.

LEARNING POINTS

The case emphasises the importance of recognising atypical presentations of chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disorder (CKD-MBD), such as a calcified mass, which are rarely reported but critical for timely intervention.This report underscores the necessity for routine screening for secondary hyperparathyroidism in CKD patients, as early detection can significantly impact patient outcomes.Surgical management of the overlying mass and underlying parathyroid gland hyperplasia should always be considered in the management of the symptomatic CKD-MBD patient.
