Paget disease of bone is a benign disorder with focal areas of increased bone turnover in one or more skeletal sites. It usually affects older adults, and men have a slightly higher risk than women. The disease most often affects the pelvis, spine, skull, and long bones; pain is the most common symptom. Patients may be asymptomatic, with suspicion arising from elevated levels of serum alkaline phosphatase in routine blood work or incidental findings of radiographic abnormalities.
