Abstract:
Paget's bone disease is a common disorder affecting approximately 3-4% of the population over 40 and up to 10-11% of the population older than 80 years. It is characterized by excessive and abnormal bone remodelling. The disease predominates in bones containing red marrow, with a clinical course characterized by active and quiescent periods; pelvis, sacrum, spine and skull are the most affected parts. We report the case of a 79-year-old woman with polyostotic Paget's disease who had a focal sarcomatous degeneration diagnosed by CT and MR.

Spongy bone is more porous, and less dense compared to compact bone. It is composed of concentric lamellae that are arranged irregularly to form the trabecular network. In some bones, the spaces between trabeculae contain red marrow, where...
