Paget disease is a localized disorder of bone remodeling that typically begins with excessive bone resorption followed by an increase in bone formation. This osteoclastic activity followed by compensatory bone formation (osteoblastic activity) leads to a structurally disorganized mosaic of bone (woven bone), which is weaker mechanically, larger, less compact,...

Initial bone resorption is followed by an intense increase in osteoblastic activity. The bone that...

Paget disease is a metabolic bone disease characterized by excessive bone resorption and formation due to activated osteoclasts.

Paget disease of the bone (osteitis deformans) is a metabolic disorder characterized by abnormal osseous remodeling.

Paget disease, characterized by excessive and abnormal remodeling of bone, is a common disorder in middle-aged and elderly patients. The excessive remodeling gives rise to bones that are extensively vascularized, weak, enlarged, and deformed with subsequent complications.

Paget disease of bone is a focal disorder of the skeleton that can affect one or more bones. Many patients are discovered accidentally because of elevated serum alkaline phosphatase activity or an abnormal skeletal radiograph intended to evaluate an unrelated condition. Patients are often asymptomatic, but a subset experience considerable...

Clinical presentation: 80 year old lady with pain in her right hip.
There is increased density of the right hemi-pelvis. The bone dimensions are increased. There is coarsening of the bone architecture with loss of detail. There is protrusio acetabulae, indicating bone softening. ACR-code 448-843

Paget's Disease of Bone. In the bone scan, we see intense uptake in the lower T-spine, the mid L-spine, sacrum, and the sacral wings. The "butterfly" pattern of vertebral involvement suggests Paget's Disease, which affects the entire vertebral body rather than metastatic disease, which predelicts the pedicles. Paget's Disease frequently, but not...
