  • Title: [The association of a myeloma and Paget's disease (author's transl)].
    Author: Carcassonne Y, Bouvenot G, Gastaut JA, Sebahoun G.
    Journal: Ann Med Interne (Paris); 1979; 130(3):177-84. PubMed ID: 434730.
    Abstract:
    The coexistence of a myeloma and Paget's disease in the same patient is only rarely reported in the published literature. The frequency of such an association was studied when reviewing 3 cases observed by the authors: an IgG myeloma discovered following a spasmodic paraplegia in a patient with Paget's disease; a patient who was found to have a myeloma, a polynuclear neutrophil leukemia, and Paget's disease; and an IgG myeloma in a patient with probable localized Paget's disease. The incidence of the association myeloma-Paget's disease is much lower than that of sarcomatous degeneration. It should be determined precisely, however, as our future conception of the reciprocal relationship between the two diseases is greatly dependent on this information. Furthermore, the very few cases reported, and their lack of homogenicity, are the reasons why most authors feel that the association of myeloma and Paget's disease as pure coincidence. Many new cases, however, have been recently reported. The problem of the significance of the association of Paget's disease and macroglobulinemia or other monoclonal gammapathies has still to be solved.
