RODRIGUES, Maria Inês et al. A Rare Case of Paget Disease. Acta Radiol Port [online]. 2023, vol.35, n.1, pp.30-31.  Epub Apr 30, 2023. ISSN 2183-1351.  https://doi.org/10.25748/arp.26353.

Paget disease is a skeletal disorder of unknown aetiology, characterised by excessive abnormal bone remodelling. It can be polyostotic, when two or more bones are involved or monostotic when only one bone is affected.

We report the case of a patient admitted to our hospital who, on physical examination, presented an exuberant right clavicular mass. Imaging studies were performed and the diagnosis of Paget disease of the clavicle was made - an atypical and rare location of the disease.

As Paget disease might be discovered incidentally, it is crucial to be familiar with its typical radiographic appearance to avoid misinterpretation.

Keywords : Paget disease; clavicle..
