Revision 7 for 'Cotton wool appearance of bone'

Cotton wool appearance of bone

The cotton wool appearance is a plain film sign of Paget's disease  and results from thickened, disorganized trabeculae which lead to areas of sclerosis in a previously lucent area of bone - typically the skull. These sclerotic patches are poorly defined and fluffy.
