Abstract

The development of sarcoma is the most serious complication of Paget disease. In fact, Paget’s original case (1877) developed a fibrosarcoma in the radius after 22 years, and five of his 23 patients died of sarcoma. Although well recognized as a possible complication of Paget disease, the exact incidence of malignancy is difficult to establish because there is no reliable statistical information on the frequency of uncomplicated disease; in the world literature the reported incidence of malignancy ranges from 0.15% to 20%.
