Observation:
- Paget's sarcoma exhibits notable differences from primary osteosarcoma in age, tumor location, treatment, and prognosis.
- Radiological manifestations in Paget's sarcoma are distinct.
Findings:
- This case report highlights the clinical presentation of Paget's sarcoma.
- Therapeutic strategies and characteristic radiological findings are described.
Implications:
- Understanding these differences is crucial for accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment of Paget's sarcoma.
