Abstract
Sagliker syndrome (SS) is a rare but distinctive form of renal osteodystrophy associated with poorly managed secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). We present a case of a 28-year-old male with end-stage CKD on hemodialysis for 10 years, who exhibited progressive facial deformities and maxillofacial bone pain. Physical examination revealed bilateral expansion of the maxillary and mandibular bones and facial asymmetry. Radiological findings included diffuse bone thickening and multilocular cysts in the maxillofacial bones, while laboratory tests showed decreased levels of calcium and elevated parathyroid hormone, confirming SHPT. Despite multidisciplinary management involving nephrology, endocrinology, and maxillofacial surgery, the patient's condition deteriorated and he manifested community-acquired pneumonia leading to cardiopulmonary arrest and death. This case underscores the challenges in managing severe HPT in CKD and emphasizes the importance of early assessment and comprehensive multidisciplinary care to prevent irreversible complications.

Abstract
Sagliker syndrome (SS) is an extremely rare disorder that manifests in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing programmed hemodialysis as a renal replacement therapy. Treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in these patients is still challenging. The main clinical manifestations of SS include craniofacial and fingertip deformities, dental anomalies, gingival hyperplasia, short stature, hearing loss, neurological and psychiatric impairment. The etiology and pathogenesis of SS in patients with SHPT require further clarification. However, mutations in the GNAS1, FGF23, and FGFR3 genes were described in some patients, suggesting a possible role of genetic predisposition to the syndrome. The preferred therapeutic approach for SS is surgery, but the volume of the operation is debated. The main surgical strategies include total, subtotal parathyroidectomy, or total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation of the parathyroid gland (PG). Unfortunately, parathyroidectomy does not contribute to the regression of significant skeletal deformities. We present a unique clinical case of a patient with classical features of SS, recurrent tertiary hyperparathyroidism (THPT) after total parathyroidectomy due to intrathyroidal parathyroid carcinoma (PC).

Abstract
Sagliker syndrome (SS) is a rare complication in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on prolonged dialysis due to uncontrolled secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT). SS manifests with a constellation of clinical manifestations, including short stature, craniomaxillofacial abnormalities, hearing loss, and neuropsychiatric disorders. This article reports a 33-year-old male patient with CKD who complained of progressive disfiguring facial changes, multiple recurrent fractures, and shortened height. The condition affects his quality of life. On workup, his lab results showed highly elevated serum levels of parathyroid hormone, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), calcium, and phosphate. His comorbidities and poor health status limit his ability to do parathyroidectomy (Ptx). A reliable diagnostic approach must be considered, enabling physicians to make earlier interventions and get better outcomes.

Abstract
Leontiasis ossea (LO) in chronic kidney disease patients, also known as Sagliker syndrome, is an exceptionally uncommon uremic complication of long-lasting and severe secondary hyperparathyroidism. The prominent features of uremic LO (ULO) encompass the characteristic clinical trial of massive thickening of maxillary and mandibular bones, widening of interdental spaces, and flattening of nasal bridges and nares. Moreover, during the transformation of craniofacial architecture, significant structural and functional consequences may appear, including upper airway patency, visual and hearing acuity, oral phase of swallowing as well as various neurological and psychiatric disorders. Only few cases of ULO have been reported in the literature until now, making challenging not only the traditional diagnostic procedures but also the optimal therapeutic approach. In this narrative review, we aim to explore the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms, summarize the evidence for adverse outcomes, and highlight the current therapeutic strategies for ULO prevention and treatment, given that precise genetic determinants remain elusive.

Abstract
While renal osteodystrophy is a common complication of chronic renal failure which is caused by secondary hyperparathyroidism, it is rare that the bony changes result in a severe progressive overgrowth of the bones of the face such that the patient is at risk for breathing and feeding difficulties. When this occurs, it is called uremic leontiasis ossea and patients who suffer from this rare, severe complication of renal osteodystrophy may go undiagnosed or be misdiagnosed resulting improper management due to its limited discussion in the literature. We report a case of a 42-year-old man with end-stage renal disease who was unable to receive dialysis consistently for many years who was found to have a large hard mass on the palate and palate ulcers.
