Hematoxylin and eosin (H and E) staining ×200, (b) sections from post denosumab-treated specimen displaying replacement by foamy histiocytes and lymphocytes. H and E staining ×400, (c) section from host bone displaying “jigsaw puzzle”- like or mosaic pattern of lamellar bone, pathognomonic of Paget’s disease. One of the several thickened mosaic cement lines marked with arrowhead.
