Paget disease of bone, also known as osteitis deformans, is a nonmalignant disease of bone that causes accelerated and abnormal bone remodeling. It is the second most common bone disorder, osteoporosis being first. It is a localized disorder, meaning it affects just 1 or several bones in the body. Paget disease of bone is characterized by enlarged and deformed bones and occurs mainly in the axial skeleton. The cause of the disease is still not known entirely, but genetics are certain to be involved, and viral factors also are suspected.
骨佩吉特病，又称畸形性骨炎，是一种导致骨重塑加速和异常的非恶性骨病。它是第二常见的骨病，最常见的是骨质疏松症。它是一种局限性疾病，意味着它只影响身体中的一块或几块骨头。骨佩吉特病的特征是骨骼增大和变形，主要发生在中轴骨骼。该病的病因仍不完全清楚，但遗传学肯定与之相关，病毒因素也受到怀疑。
