Abstract

Paget's bone disease is rare. It is less common under the age of 40. Facial polyostotic involvement is exceptional. We report a case of a 17- years-old male with chronic right nasogenous swelling, with a right hemiprognathic facial deformity. A CT scan revealed bone thickening with osteocondensation of the right hemiface. The diagnosis of facial localization in Paget's disease was retained and clinical follow-up was initially undertaken. No signs of complications were detected.
