An update on imaging of Paget's sarcoma

William Tilden et al. Skeletal Radiol. 2021 Jul.

Abstract

Paget's sarcoma is a rare and particularly aggressive tumour arising within pagetic bone, affecting approximately 1% of patients with Paget's disease during the course of their disease. Most of these tumours are osteosarcomas, but the age profile, skeletal distribution and clinical outcomes differ considerably from conventional osteosarcoma. In this review, we outline the clinical, radiographic/CT, scintigraphic and magnetic resonance imaging features of Paget's sarcoma. We also review the neoplastic and non-neoplastic mimics of Paget's sarcoma that should be considered in the differential diagnosis when encountering an aggressive lesion within pagetic bone.

Keywords: Mimics of Paget’s sarcoma; Osteosarcoma; Paget’s disease; Paget’s sarcoma.
