Trichoepithelioma is a rare benign tumour of the pilosebaceous unit that originates from the hair follicles. Although it rarely results in facial disfigurement, it is thought to be the cause of leonine facies. We discuss a 27-year-old woman who presented with facies Leonine caused by trichoepitheliomas. The first line of treatment for these multiple symmetrical, firm, and round papules or nodules is excisional surgery.

Article Synopsis
- Uremic leontiasis ossia (ULO) is a rare condition linked to renal osteodystrophy in patients with end-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) and secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPTH), causing bone deformities that can lead to a 'leonine' facial appearance.
- The case study focuses on a 39-year-old female patient undergoing treatment, who exhibited significant symptoms and had elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels, confirmed by CT scans.
- Treatment involves a multidisciplinary approach including surgery and management of SHPTH to correct anatomical issues and prevent further complications.
