Fibro osseous lesions of the craniofacial complex are represented by a variety of processes characterized by ununsual calcifications of one or multiple regions of the body. Among these lesions, Paget's disease of bone, is a condition that occurs in three stages of bone formation, typically leading to loss of morphofunctional and long bones of the craniofacial complex. In this paper, we report the case of a 56-years-old malepatient, seen at theSanta IsabelHospital, Maxillo-Facial Surgery Center , JoãoPessoa-PB, presenting Paget's disease of bone with repercussions throughout the skeleton. In addition, we discuss the historical aspects, pathogenesis andcraniofacial complications that can appear in this pathology
