Summary
Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in Paget's disease of the appendicular skeleton shows preserved fatty marrow signal. This finding holds true unless an acute fracture or sarcoma is present, aiding in differential diagnosis.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedics
- Radiology
- Oncology
Background:
- Paget's disease of bone is a chronic condition characterized by abnormal bone remodeling.
- Advanced Paget's disease can present with diverse radiographic features, including osteolysis, fractures, and thickening.
- Distinguishing Paget's disease from bone sarcoma can be challenging.
