Abstract I reported a case of a seventy-five-year-old woman with a backache and pain in left femur. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of back, pelvis and hips showed bone marrow lesion suggesting bone metastasis. The patient was admitted to nuclear medicine department of Krasnoyarsk Regional Clinical Oncology Center. Single-photon emission computed tomography combined with computed tomography (SPECT/CT) of the skeletal system together with several laboratory tests (alkaline phosphatase, calcium, phosphorus), provided grounds for the diagnosis of Paget’s disease. The patient was qualified for treatment to the Rheumatologist.

There is overwhelming evidence that sodium fluoride is effective in the prevention of dental caries, but other uses of it are much less well established. Nevertheless, experimental trials of fluoride in the treatment of osteoporosis, otosclerosis, Paget’s disease, multiple myeloma and secondary carcinoma have led to recommendations for their routine use in these conditions.1–3 So far no manufacturer has made a submission concerning such uses to the Safety of Drugs Committee, and no preparation is marketed for these purposes.
