Synchronous Paget disease of bone and hyperparathyroidism: report of a case with extensive craniofacial involvement.

Paget disease of bone (PDB) and hyperparathyroidism (HPT) are metabolic osseous disorders which affect ≥2% of the population. As these diseases may share clinical, radiographic, biochemical, and histopathologic features, knowledge of their phenotypic overlap may provide diagnostic utility and improve clinical outcome. Scant information is available in the dental literature regarding patients concurrently affected with both pathologies. We present an unusual case report of a 63-year-old woman coaffected with primary HPT, attributed to a functional oxyphilic parathyroid adenoma, and PDB. Bone scintigraphy revealed pagetoid lesions of the skull, humeral head, spine, sacrum, and hemipelvis. Salient craniofacial features noted were bony involvement of the calvarium and midface, resulting in extensive maxillary overgrowth, hearing loss, telecanthus and consequent visual impairment, nasal deformity, and leontiasis ossea. The patient underwent a partial parathyroidectomy and bisphosphonate administration was to be initiated upon extraction of the remaining dentition.
