RESUMO
INTRODUCTION/AIMS: VCP multisystem proteinopathy 1 (MSP1), encompassing inclusion body myopathy (IBM), Paget's disease of bone (PDB) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) (IBMPFD), features progressive muscle weakness, fatty infiltration, and disorganized bone structure in Pagetic bones. The aim of this study is to utilize dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) parameters to examine it as a biomarker of muscle and bone disease in MSP1. METHODS: DXA scans were obtained in 28 patients to assess body composition parameters (bone mineral density [BMD], T-score, total fat, and lean mass) across different groups: total VCP disease (n = 19), including myopathy without Paget's ("myopathy"; n = 12) and myopathy with Paget's ("Paget"; n = 7), and unaffected first-degree relatives serving as controls (n = 6). RESULTS: In the VCP disease group, significant declines in left hip BMD and Z-scores were noted versus the control group (p ≤ .03). The VCP disease group showed decreased whole body lean mass % (p = .04), and increased total body fat % (p = .04) compared to controls. Subgroup comparisons indicated osteopenia in 33.3% and osteoporosis in 8.3% of the myopathy group, with 14.3% exhibiting osteopenia in the Paget group. Moreover, the Paget group displayed higher lumbar L1-L4 T-score values than the myopathy group. DISCUSSION: In MSP1, DXA revealed reduced bone and lean mass, and increased fat mass. These DXA insights could aid in monitoring disease progression of muscle loss and secondary osteopenia/osteoporosis in MSP1, providing value both clinically and in clinical research.

In this case report, we describe an uncommon case of neuroendocrine cancer of unknown origin began with cauda equina syndrome in a patient affected by Paget disease of bone (PDB). A 76-year-old man with diagnosis of PDB, without history of pain or bone deformity, developed sudden severe low back pain. Bone alkaline phosphatase was increased and MRI and whole-body scintigraphy confirmed the localization of the disease at the third vertebra of the lumbar spine. Treatment with Neridronic Acid was started, but after only 2 weeks of therapy anuria and bowel occlusion occurred together with lower limb weakness and walking impairment. Cauda equina syndrome consequent to spinal stenosis at the level of L2-L3 was diagnosed after admission to Emergency Department and the patient underwent neurosurgery for spinal medulla decompression. The histologic results showed a complete subversion of bone structure in neoplastic tissue, consistent with metastatic neuroendocrine carcinoma of unknown origin. In conclusion, low back pain in the elderly may require deep investigation to individuate rare diseases. In asymptomatic patients with apparently stable PDB, the sudden appearance of pain or neurologic symptoms may alert the clinician for the possibility of other superimposing diseases, like bone metastases.

INTRODUCTION: Paget's disease of bone (PDB) frequently presents at an advanced stage with irreversible skeletal damage. Clinical outcomes might be improved by earlier diagnosis and prophylactic treatment. METHODS: We randomised 222 individuals at increased risk of PDB because of pathogenic SQSTM1 variants to receive 5 mg zoledronic acid (ZA) or placebo. The primary outcome was new bone lesions assessed by radionuclide bone scan. Secondary outcomes included change in existing lesions, biochemical markers of bone turnover and skeletal events related to PDB. RESULTS: The median duration of follow-up was 84 months (range 0-127) and 180 participants (81%) completed the study. At baseline, 9 (8.1%) of the ZA group had PDB lesions vs 12 (10.8%) of the placebo group. Two of the placebo group developed new lesions versus none in the ZA group (OR 0.41, 95% CI 0.00 to 3.43, p=0.25). Eight of the placebo group had a poor outcome (lesions which were new, unchanged or progressing) compared with none of the ZA group (OR 0.08, 95% CI 0.00 to 0.42, p=0.003). At the study end, 1 participant in the ZA group had lesions compared with 11 in the placebo group. Biochemical markers of bone turnover were significantly reduced in the ZA group. One participant allocated to placebo required rescue therapy with ZA because of symptomatic disease. The number and severity of adverse events did not differ between groups. CONCLUSIONS: Genetic testing for pathogenic SQSTM1 variants coupled with intervention with ZA is well tolerated and has favourable effects on the progression of early PDB. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: ISRCTN11616770.

The differential diagnosis for an isolated lytic mastoid lesion is broad, encompassing various conditions requiring careful consideration. These include granulomatous disorders such as Langerhans cell histiocytosis and sarcoidosis, neoplastic processes like multiple myeloma, leukemia, lymphoma, and metastases, primary bone diseases such as Paget's disease, fibrous dysplasia, and osteitis fibrosa cystica, as well as infectious causes like osteomyelitis. In this report, we present a patient with otalgia and an isolated lytic mastoid lesion.

Paget osteosarcoma is a rare but serious complication of Paget disease requiring immediate management before further malignant transformation. This case report examines the progression of a previously reported case of Paget disease with atypical pseudotumor manifestation, mimicking osteosarcoma over a 21-year time lapse. After presenting with substantial pain and elevated alkaline phosphatase levels, imaging proved extensive bony expansion of the lesion with high-grade trabecular and cortical thickening and extraosseous soft-tissue extension, prompting the need for biopsy to rule out Paget sarcoma. The atypical features of the pseudotumor's development helps distinguish key radiographic and clinical criteria for malignant development.

If Paget's disease can undermine Alzheimer's disease, there is the possibility of an association between Alzheimer's disease and Paget's disease. We report the observation of an 81-year-old hypertensive patient with Alzheimer's disease, who presented with an isolated increase in alkaline phosphatase, which led to the discovery of Paget's disease. The physician must therefore be careful to distinguish between genuine Alzheimer's disease and a neurological complication of Paget's disease.

BACKGROUND: European and Australian studies have reported a decrease in the prevalence, incidence and clinical severity of Paget's disease of bone (PDB). There are no studies on the current clinical characteristics of PDB in Quebec, Canada. AIMS: The purpose of this study was to describe the characteristics of unrelated patients with PDB diagnosed after the year 2000 in our region and to compare them to a historical cohort diagnosed before 2000. METHODS: In this retrospective descriptive cohort study, socio-demographic data and clinical characteristics for the contemporary cohort were collected from electronic medical records of patients with PDB followed at our university hospital. For the historical cohort, the same data were collected from the research files of PDB participants in our research program. Inclusion criteria were: age > 18 years, having PDB diagnosed by a rheumatologist, and being followed in our hospital. Exclusion criteria were: having a relative with PDB participating in this study. Variables were reported as mean, standard deviation, frequency and percentage. Chi-square tests were used to compare categorical variables. Continuous values were compared with Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney tests. Unadjusted p-values and adjusted p-values with the Bonferroni correction method were calculated. A p-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS: Among the 195 patients with PDB in the contemporary cohort, 53.3 % were men, 60.5 % had monostotic involvement, 14.2 % were symptomatic at diagnosis. In comparison to the historical cohort of 173 patients, patients in the contemporary cohort were older at diagnosis (68.7 10.7 vs. 58.5 10.1; p < 0.0001) and had less family history of PDB (13.8 % vs. 33.6 %; p = 0.0024). They also had lower total alkaline phosphatase levels at diagnosis (118.0 (85.0-184.0)) vs. 184.0 (115.0-312.0)); p = 0.0006), a lower pagetic bone number (1.0 (1.0-3.0) vs. 2.0 (1.0-5.0); p < 0.0001), lower pagetic bone fractures (6.7 % vs. 36.7 %; p = 0.0078) and lower bone deformities (13.0 % vs. 54.0 %; p < 0.0001). There was no significant difference for pagetic bone pain (52.0 % vs. 52.6 %; p = 1.0000), percentage of patients who had orthopedic surgery related to PDB complications (8.8 % vs. 28.6 %; p = 1.0000), secondary osteoarthritis (43.0 % vs. 51.6 %; p = 1.0000), and hearing impairment (51.9 % vs. 61.1 %; p = 0.1000). CONCLUSION: The contemporary cohort is characterized by an older age at diagnosis, a majority of monostotic disease and fewer complications of PDB. This decline in clinical severity of PDB in Quebec is consistent with studies reported in other countries.

INTRODUCTION: Paget's disease of bone (PDB) is a focal bone disorder caused by a marked dysregulation of osteoblasts and osteoclasts in basic multicellular units, leading to abnormal and disorganized deposition of collagen fibers (the so-called 'woven bone'). Therefore, pagetic bones are increased in size, and at increased risk for bone pain, deformities, fractures, osteoarthritis, and, more rarely, neoplastic degeneration. AREAS COVERED: In this review, we revise the available information concerning the pharmacological treatment of PDB. EXPERT OPINION: PDB progresses slowly within the affected skeletal sites and, if untreated, often leads to bone overgrowth, with bone pain, deformity, and a likely increased risk of complications. Thus, the primary goal of treatment is the restoration of a normal bone turnover, in order to relieve bone pain or other symptoms and possibly prevent the complications. PDB long remained a poorly treatable disorder until the discovery of antiresorptive agents such as calcitonin first and bisphosphonates (BPs) later. With the recent development of potent intravenous BPs like zoledronate, allowing a better control of disease activity over the long term with a single infusion, has contributed to a marked improvement of the clinical management of this invalidating disorder.

BACKGROUND: Patients who have Paget's Disease more frequently require total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) than matched controls. However, controversy remains regarding their outcome. We aimed to evaluate the literature regarding outcomes following THA and TKA in patients who have Paget's Disease. METHODS: MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane databases were searched for all articles evaluating outcomes following THA and TKA in patients who have Paget's Disease. Quality of included studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. RESULTS: A total of 19 articles (published between 1976 and 2022) were included, comprising 58,695 patients (48,766 controls and 10,018 patients who have Pagets Disease), from 209 potentially relevant titles. Patients with Paget's Disease have a pooled mortality of 32.5% at a mean of 7.8 years (range, 0.1 to 20) following THA and 31.0% at a mean of 8.5 years (range, 2 to 20) following TKA, with a pooled revision rate of 4.4% at 7.2 years (range, 0 to 20) following THA and 2.2% at 7.4 years (range, 2 to 20) following TKA. Renal and respiratory complications, as well as heterotopic ossification and surgical-site infection were the most common post-operative complications. CONCLUSION: There is marked heterogeneity in outcome reporting of studies assessing arthroplasty in patients who have Paget's Disease, with studies of low to moderate quality. Patients with Paget's Disease undergoing THA and TKA appear to have similar implant longevity as their unaffected counterparts. However, they appear to have an increased risk of medical and surgical complications and may have a higher mortality risk from their procedure.

Paget's disease (PDB) is a chronic osteopathy more common in male, Caucasic, European population, after the age of 50 years, that can lead to bone deformities. A challenging surgical solution for affected hip with severe hip osteoarthritis is total hip replacement (THA). We describe a case of THA in a 71-year-old patient with PDB and we present a literature review. In particular we find out that more studies comparing cementless THA with cemented one are necessary, in order to understand if one implant is better than the other.

Paget's disease is a metabolic bone disorder affecting the elderly and characterized by bone resorption followed by compensatory bone formation. Radiography is the imaging modality of choice for the diagnosis whereas bone scintigraphy helps stage the extent of the disease and assess response to treatment. MRI and CT are important imaging methods in the assessment of complications and surgical planning. Osteolytic lesions of Paget's first phase present with well-defined margins on radiographs, most commonly in the femur, pelvis, and skull. Cortical thickening, trabecular coarsening, bone marrow sclerosis, and deformities of long bones are present in the mixed- and late-sclerotic phases.

Inclusion Body Myopathy, Paget's Disease of Bone, with Frontotemporal Dementia is a progressive autosomal dominant disease that affects the ubiquitin-proteasome complex, that is caused by variants in the Valosin Containing Protein (VCP) gene. We report the first case of concurrent pathogenic variants in both MYBPC3 and VCP that led to earlier onset of congestive heart failure with features of dilated cardiomyopathy. Cardiomyopathy has previously been associated with VCP inclusion body myopathy mostly at an advanced stage of the disease. Due to acute onset of cardiomyopathy in a previous asymptomatic individual, a cardiomyopathy gene panel was obtained which revealed an additional c.177_187del variant of the MYBPC3 gene. We report a first case of concurrent pathogenic variants in both c.177_187del gene of MYBPC3 and p.R155C VCP that led to earlier onset and a more severe form of the cardiomyopathy.

Dermatomyositis is associated with malignancies and is known to have systemic involvement. However, associations with bone diseases have not been well described in the current literature. This article describes the second reported case of the co-existence of dermatomyositis and Paget's disease of bone (PDB), but this is the first report to describe such co-existence in a specific subtype of dermatomyositis-hypomyopathic dermatomyositis. Our patient was a 51 year old woman who presented with prolonged fever, myalgia, morning stiffness, and rashes pathognomonic of dermatomyositis. There was no muscle weakness clinically, although muscle enzymes were increased and electromyogram revealed myopathic changes. Further imaging showed the incidental finding of a T11 vertebral bone lesion, of which biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of PDB. Our report illustrates the diagnostic approach to bone lesions in patients with dermatomyositis and takes a closer look at the pathophysiology and management implications of the co-occurrence of these two rare diseases.

INTRODUCTION: Paget bone disease (PBD) is characterized by a disorder in the bone remodeling activity at sites of involvement. This can produce dramatic alterations of local bone architecture and causes most of the complications. We aimed to focus on the characteristics of complications of PDB among hospitalized patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted, on PBD patients hospitalized in two rheumatology centers from 1994 to 2019. Characteristics of the PBD complications were studied. RESULTS: Sixty-nine patients were collected with a sex ratio of 0.76 and a mean age of 75.4±6.4 years [43-101]. The diagnosis of PBD was established in the average age of 64.2±11.5 years. The primary reason for consultation was pain (78.3%). The PBD was localized in the pelvis (58%), lower limb (42%), spine (36.2%), skull (23.2%) and upper limb (5.8%). It was polyostotic in 44.9% of cases. Dosage of ALP was 324 [68-8390]. The PDB complication rate was 52.2% and it decreased over time. The main complication was osteoarthritis (23.2%), followed by deafness (17.4%), fracture (15.9%), hydrocephalus (7.2%), neurological disease (7.2%) and osteosarcoma (1.4%). The presence of complications was significantly associated with the polyostotic form (p=0.01), the skull localization (p=0.04), an increased ALP (p=0.02). CONCLUSION: According to our study, the incidence rate of PBD among hospitalized cases is higher among elderly women and decreases over time. Complications related to PDB are frequent (52%). It concerns patients with a polyostotic form, skull localization and high ALP.

We present the case of a 65-year-old man with brown tumors due to secondary hyperparathyroidism. Magnetic resonance imaging of the pelvis showed multiple lesions with expansive bone appearance. Additionally, prostate cancer was diagnosed during this time. For this reason, differential diagnosis was performed through biopsy of the right iliac bone lesion. Brown tumors are caused by osteoclastic activity and fibroblast proliferation; the differential diagnosis of these bone lesions includes giant tumors, metastases, Paget's disease, and paraneoplastic syndrome with high levels of parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP). This case report describes the coexistence of two pathologies that could explain these images. In this report, we present a case of a 65-year-old man with brown tumors due to secondary hyperparathyroidism and prostate cancer. In this setting, histologic confirmation is recommended.

Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is the method of choice for assessing bone mineral density (BMD). Unfortunately, the performance and interpretation of DXA can be challenging and errors are common. In fact, it has been reported that up to 90% of BMD reports contain at least 1 error. Errors can be the result of technique or interpretative in nature or both and can result in inappropriate diagnosis and management. In this article, we review the various types of pitfalls frequently encountered by physicians interpreting DXA studies. Being aware of these pitfalls will help readers recognize and avoid them when encountered in clinical practice.

Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a neurodegenerative disorder clinically characterized by slowly progressing spastic paraparesis. We herein report a 50-year-old Japanese woman who presented with slowly progressing spastic paraplegia and a history of Paget's disease of bone (PDB). Genetic testing revealed a mutation of the Valosin-containing protein (VCP) gene (p.Arg155Cys; c.436C>T). This mutation has not been reported to cause HSP with PDB.
