Tumor-like bone dystrophy and peripheral joint fusion in a patient with Paget's disease of bone.
The authors report an 80-year-old woman who was evaluated for pain in her left leg and ankle. Sixteen years earlier, she had received a diagnosis of monostotic Paget's disease at the same site, based on roentgenographic changes. The lesion was very unusual, with tumor-like lysis of the affected area and fusion of the tibia, fibula, and talus.
