Abstract

Background: Paget’s disease of bone (PDB) is a localized disorder of bone remodeling resulting in abnormal bone architecture. It is a chronic and slowly progressive disorder. The disease was first described in England, in 1877, by Sir James Paget who defined it with the name of “osteitis deformans.

Objectives: this patient underwent craniotomy for excision of the swelling. The bony destruction was reconstructed using titanium mesh.

Methods: A forty seven year old lady suffering from Paget’s disease, presented to us with a progressive firm swelling in the front of the left frontal bone including the orbit. She was operated upon and her swelling was diagnosed as Giant cell tumour.

Results: After surgery she became well and orbital swelling had subsided and she had a good cosmetic appearance.  

Conclusion: surgery is the main options for GCT. Patients with Paget’s disease have a tendency to have GCT, and this should be kept in the mind during diagnosis.
