Presentation
Incidental finding at MRI lumbar spine for low back pain.
Patient Data
Age: 80 years
Gender: Male
Note: This case has been tagged as "legacy" as it no longer meets image preparation and/or other case publication guidelines.
From the case:
Paget disease
{"current_user":null,"step_through_annotations":true,"access":{"can_edit":false,"can_download":true,"can_toggle_annotations":true,"can_feature":false,"can_examine_pipeline_reports":false,"can_pin":false},"extraPropsURL":"/studies/16528/annotated_viewer_json?lang=us"}
Markedly expanded left ilium with a bizarre signal intensity pattern.
From the case:
Paget disease
{"current_user":null,"step_through_annotations":true,"access":{"can_edit":false,"can_download":true,"can_toggle_annotations":true,"can_feature":false,"can_examine_pipeline_reports":false,"can_pin":false},"extraPropsURL":"/studies/16529/annotated_viewer_json?lang=us"}
Anterior radiograph of the pelvis confirms suspicion of Paget disease in left ilium and right upper femur i.e. expansion of bone with sclerosis and coarsening of trabecular pattern.
Case Discussion
The case demonstrates how plain radiographs can be of value in case of "bizzare" looking MRI skeletal findings.
