Paget's disease of the bone
Diagnosis in short

Paget's disease of the bone. H&E stain.

LM bone matrix has jigsaw-puzzle like pattern (jigsaw-puzzle pieces each ~ 100-500 micrometres in size in largest dimension), increased osteoclast activity
Site bone

Associated Dx fracture of bone, secondary osteosarcoma
Signs +/-deafness
Symptoms +/-bone pain
Blood work elevated ALP
Radiology bony deformity, "sunburst" skull
Prognosis benign

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

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]

  1. Lytic (predominantly osteoclasts).
  2. Mixed lytic (osteoclastic) and blastic (osteoblastic).
  3. Sclerotic (burned-out).

Microscopic

Features:[8]

  • Early Paget disease is cellular and fibro-osseous (bone and fibrous components)
  • Mature Paget disease is sclerotic with 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.
