Case report 806: Monostotic Paget's disease of the hand (fifth metacarpal)

Skeletal Radiol. 1994 Jan;23(1):55-7.

Abstract

Monostotic Paget's disease of bone is an uncommon disease, reported in the hand in only a few instances. We have described an additional case involving a metacarpal bone in a 43-year-old man. We believe this disease should be considered in the radiological differential diagnosis of lytic expansile, subchondral lesions of the hand.
