title: Osteonecrosis Secondary to Paget's Disease: Radiologic and Pathologic Features.
abstract: Paget's disease (PD) is a chronic progressive disease of the bone characterized by abnormal bone metabolism affecting either a single bone (monostotic) or many bones (polyostotic) with uncertain etiology. We report a case of PD in a 70-year-old male, which was initially identified as osteonecrosis of the maxilla. Non-drug induced osteonecrosis in PD is rare and very few cases have been reported in the literature.
