Paget's disease of the bone is an uncommon benign disorder of bone with distinctive radiographic findings.
It is unrelated to the Paget's disease of the breast and extramammary Paget's disease.
General
- Benign - unlike Paget disease of the breast.
- Afflicts ~ 3% of population > 55 years old.[1]
- Leading cause of secondary osteosarcoma.
- Uncommonly associated with giant cell tumour of bone.[2][3]
- Diagnosis based on radiology.[1]
- Genetic component - several genes implicated[4] including TNFRSF11A (AKA PDB2)[5] and PDB4.[6]
Clinical
Presentation:[1]
- Fracture.
- Bone pain.
- Bony deformity.
- Deafness.
- Incidental finding - radiologic or biochemical.
Serology:
- Elevated ALP.
Clinical features - mnemonic PANICS:[7]
- Pain (bone).
- Arthralgia and ALP elevated.
- Nerve compression - deafness.
- Increased bone density.
- Cardiac failure (high output) - due to AVM formation in bone.
- Sunburst skull on X-ray.
Stage
Classically divided into three phases:[8][9]
- Lytic (predominantly osteoclasts).
- Mixed lytic (osteoclastic) and blastic (osteoblastic).
- Sclerotic (burned-out).
Microscopic
Features:[8]
- Lytic and mixed Paget disease are cellular and fibro-osseous (bone and fibrous components)
- Sclerotic Paget disease has thickened bone trabeculae.
- Bone matrix has jigsaw-puzzle like pattern.
- Jigsaw-puzzle pieces each ~ 100-500 micrometres in size (largest dimension).
- Increased osteoclast activity.
- Osteoclast = macrophage that reabsorbs bone matrix.
