Margaret Seton, MD, shares insights into Paget’s disease of bone

CHICAGO – Margaret Seton, MD, presented the history of Paget’s disease, along with her experiences as a rheumatologist treating the disease at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, at the American College of Rheumatology State-of-the-Art Clinical Symposium, here.According to Seton, Paget’s disease of bone was first described by Sir James Paget in 1876 as osteitis deformans because he thought the gradual progression of bone remodeling that led to deformity was due to inflammation of the bone.
