This question has a lot of bells and whistle distraction. Fundamentally, it is a question about what you do when you see a lytic lesion in the pelvis of a person with a risk for tumor, in this case Paget's disease. The images show a skeletal tumor of unknown origin. Therefore, you can discount every “treatment” answer. First, you need to diagnose her. Rougraff et al prospectively obtained medical history, physical examination, routine laboratory analysis, plain radiography of the involved bone and the chest, whole-body technetium-99m-phosphonate bone scintigraphy, and computed tomography of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis and found this diagnostic strategy discovered the primary site 85% of the time. In contrast, the biopsy alone (without the workup) discovered the primary tumor only 35% of the time.
