| Popis: | Monostotic Pagets Disease The present is the case of a patient who was by chance detected a deformity in his upper arm due to Pagets Disease localized in the humerus. Pagets Disease is the second most common metabolic disease after osteoporosis, affecting 3% of the population over the age of 55 in Spain. While its etiology remains elusive, genetic factors and viral implications are involved. It can affect one or several bones causing pain, deformities and fractures, especially in long bones. Radiologic tests are the key for correct diagnosis in case of disease suspicion and biochemical resorption bone markers could also be useful. The basic pillar of therapy is based on the use of bisphosphonates. |
