Özet

We report severe bone resorption with iliac bone perforation and vascular calcification due to longstanding hyperparathyroidism in a 60-year-old male patient who had undergone hemodialysis for 16 years. Computed tomography images were obtained following a complicated hemodialysis catheterization of the femoral vein, and unprecedented bone findings were observed. Improper management of chronic kidney disease–mineral bone disorder can lead to severe consequences, as observed in the present patient.
