Q

Why is are CT and MRI useful images?

A

These are better in evaluating the extent of the lesion and soft tissue invasion;

  • also used for following response to treatment
  • and detecting recurrence, but should not be interpreted without plain films for correlation

“P. T. Barnum Loves Small (good) Kids”

74
Q

A 65 year old patient in the clinic has bowing, kyphosis, decreased ROM, her bone size is markedly increased. Her lab findings are as follows:

  • elevated serum alkaline phosphatase
  • elevated urinary hydroxyproline (collagen breakdown marker)
  • increased urinary N-telopeptide, alpha-C-telopeptide, and deoxypyridinoline
  • normal calcium levels
  • elevated serum uric acid levels caused by the increased turnover of nucleic acids from high bone turnover.

Looking at the patients images is confusing to you because all of the bone seems to be involved; and there is noted trabecula.

Paget’s disease
