Abstract
A 1-year-old, 267 kg Morgan filly presented with progressive unilatera l facial swelling. Physical, radiographic, and gross pathological find ings suggested a diagnosis of maxillary and conchal cystic osteodystro phia fibrosa which was verified by microscopic examination. Pronounced hypertrophy of the parathyroid glands supported the etiologic diagnos is of nutritional secondary hyperparathyroidism.
