Purpose. In a previous series of 25 human osteosarcoma samples studied for MYC gene amplification, we found amplification in two cases (8%), including one arising in association with Paget's disease (pagetic osteosarcoma). Based on this observation, we further investigated the prevalence of MYC gene amplification in pagetic osteosarcomas.
