Abstract
Paget's sarcoma is a rare complication of Paget's disease and isolated Paget's disease of the patella is extremely rare. We describe a unique case of Paget's sarcoma of the patella in a 69-year-old male farmer who had a remote history of a fracture in the same patella 40 years previously. In this case, imaging and pathogenesis of Paget's disease of bone is described and factors implicated in the development of Paget's disease in this patient are evaluated.
