Paget disease is a skeletal growth disorder in which abnormalities such as unusual bone growth can occur in several multifactorial ways. It is the second most frequently diagnosed metabolic bone disease after osteoporosis. It is often manifested by diffuse pain and radiologically visible bone changes throughout the musculoskeletal system. The disease can affect any bone in the body but is more often seen in the spine, pelvis, and skull. It does not spread to other bones but can deteriorate in the affected area and even progress to a sarcoma, which may be a fatal bone cancer. The most common biochemical finding is elevated levels of alkaline phosphatase, bone-specific. It can be treated very effectively with the use of bisphosphonates. This activity reviews the etiology, presentation, evaluation, and management of Paget disease of the bone and examines the role of the interprofessional team in evaluating, diagnosing, and managing the condition.
