Definition: A disease marked by repeated episodes of increased bone resorption followed by excessive attempts at repair, resulting in weakened, deformed bones of increased mass. The resultant architecture of the bone assumes a mosaic pattern in which the fibers take on a haphazard pattern instead of the normal parallel symmetry.
Synonyms (terms occurring on more labels are shown first): Paget's disease of bone, osteitis deformans, Paget's disease of the bone, Pagets disease of bone
