Case Discussion
Paget disease of the bone is a chronic bone disorder characterized by excessive abnormal bone remodeling.
In the skull, both inner and outer calvarial tables are involved. Osteolysis is frequently seen as well-defined, often large areas of radiolucency most commonly affecting the frontal and occipital bones which referred to as osteoporosis circumscripta.
