title: [A new case of sarcomatous degeneration of the spine in Paget's disease of bone].
abstract: In referring to a personal observation the authors recall the rarity of malignant degeneration of lesions of the spine caused by Paget's disease. In the majority of cases these consist of multiple centred osteo-sarcomatosis. The lumbar spine is the most often affected. The clinical picture is essentially a syndrome of radiculomedullary compression. Rapid aggravation of the condition usually leads to a neurosurgical operation, which will confirm the existence of the osteo-sarcomatous process. The evolution is always fatal.
