Osteosarcoma in Paget's Disease of Bone

Abstract: Paget's disease of bone (PDB) is a focal disorder of bone metabolism first described by Sir James Paget in 1876. It is presumed benign in nature and mediated by abnormal osteoclast function. The incidence of osteosarcomas complicating PDB is estimated at <1%. These cancers occur mostly in persons with long-standing, polyostotic disease and affect patients in their seventh decade or when osteosarcoma is remarkably rare in the general population. Epidemiological studies suggest that this late peak of osteosarcom… Show more

“…Moreover, the occurrence of GCT was associated with a consistent increase in ALP levels, as previously described in the case of osteosarcomas complicating PDB. (22) Clinical characteristics of PDB patients from this pedigree were compared with those observed in a cohort of 150 unrelated familial and sporadic PDB cases from the same geographic region (Table 3). Overall, the affected members of the pedigree showed an increased number of affected skeletal sites and an increased prevalence of polyostotic disease than either sporadic or familiar PDB cases from the same region.…”

“…(22,26) GCT is also a very rare but well-recognized neoplastic complication of PDB, accounting for only a small proportion of all neoplasms arising from pagetic bone. (16) All GCTs complicating PDB occur exclusively in bone affected by the disease and generally differ in the age of onset and the skeletal localization with respect to GCTs occurring in nonpagetic subjects.…”

“…As the disease progresses, bone formation predominates, resulting in sclerotic bone overgrowth and deformity. 5 Elevation in ALP, urinary deoxypyridinoline and osteocalcin typically reflects these increases of bone turnover. Sarcoma that arises in PDB is rare and presents with increasing age.…”

“…Malignant sarcomatous degeneration is a rare (< 1%) and often fatal complication of PDB. [5][6][7][8] Osteosarcoma is considered to be a rare and devastating complication of PDB. We report on a confirmed case of very rare telangiectatic osteosarcoma in monostotic PDB.…”

“…Approximately 1% of patients with PDB develop osteosarcoma. 1 PDB is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait with genetic heterogeneity and affects 2-3% of the population over the age of 55 years. Both genetic and environmental factors are involved in the pathogenesis of PDB.…”
