Abstract
A 9-year-old boy with X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets had a recurrin g oral giant cell lesion, These lesions are relatively uncommon in chi ldren and represent a potentially aggressive disorder that is microsco pically indistinguishable from the brown tumors of hyperparathyroidism . Subclinical hyperparathyroidism is not uncommon in X-linked hypophos phatemic rickets and may account for the giant cell lesion in this pat ient.
