Case Discussion
Paget disease of bone is a benign disease characterized by exaggerated remodeling of the bone matrix after osteoclast-mediated bone destruction. Its etiology is still unknown.
The main clinical presentations of the disease are related to bone pain and deformities.
Radiological diagnosis is the main detection tool, though many monostotic Paget disease cases may remain undiagnosed.
