Abstract

Paget Disease of the bone is a metabolic disorder which leads to a profound alteration of the bone's architecture. It may be asymptomatic and, since its radiological features mimic those of bone metastases, may present a diagnostic dilemma during the evaluation of a cancer patient. We illustrate an uncommon monostotic form of the disease, affecting solely the scapula, diagnosed during the staging of a lung cancer patient.

Keywords: Bone scintigraphy; CT; F-18-FDG PET/CT; Lung cancer; Paget Disease.
