Abstract
|
|
|
Paget¡¯s disease is a localized bone disorder that affects widespread areas of skeleton characterized by increased bone remodeling. It is a chronic, progressive disease of unknown etiology. The pathologic process is initiated by hyperactive osteoclastic bone resorption followed by a compensatory increase in the osteoblastic new bone formation. New pagetic bones are disorganized and more susceptible to deformities and fractures. Paget¡¯s disease can affect one or multiple bones in the systemic skeleton, including the temporal bone. We experienced a case of chronic otitis media combined with an external auditory canal stenosis due to Paget¡¯s disease of the temporal bone. We report clinicopathologic features of this rare case.
