Abstrakt: We describe an 8-year-old boy who presented with severe facial swelling. This progressed rapidly and 17 months later he died of gastrointestinal and pulmonary infections. The diagnosis was initially brown tumour associated with hyperparathyroidism, but this was revised in the light of laboratory investigations that were within the reference ranges, and normal appearance of the parathyroids on exploration to that of an extreme case of cherubism that behaved in a locally aggressive manner.
