Hyperparathyroidism (HPT) is an endocrine metabolic disorder characterized by increased secretion of parathyroid hormone. Untreated secondary HPT leads to renal osteodystrophy (ROD). Facial skeletal abnormalities in patients with ROD are rare. The purpose of this paper is to report a conservative surgical approach of exuberant osteitis fibrosa lesions in patient with chronic kidney disease. A 24-year-old female was referred to maxillofacial surgery department with giants ROD affecting palate, maxilla, and mandible, resulting in esthetic and functional impairment. The pathogeneses and multidisciplinary management of ROD are discussed with a brief literature review. Eight years after the conservative treatment of exuberant jaw lesions, no noticeable bone changes were observed in the patient. A multidisciplinary therapy is essential for correct diagnosis of ROD and optimal multimodality treatment. The conservative management was an efficient alternative for the success of the case reported.
