Paget's disease with vanishing bone pattern and spinal fusion.
We present a rare case of Paget's disease involving the spine and pelvis, with unusual imaging features, including severe bony expansion and fatty infiltration, resulting in a "vanishing bone" appearance. Other rare imaging features are the presence of spinal and sacroiliac ankylosis.
