[Osteoclastic inclusions in Paget's disease of bone]

An electron microscope study of 35 bone biopsies from patients with Paget's disease confirmed the constnat presence of intra-nuclear and intracytoplasmic inclusions, which seemed to be the most specific anomalies of the osteoclasts. The presence of these inclusions leads to their comparison with other inclusions described in certain affections for which the viral etiology is at present under discussion.
