For all patients, data were collected about clinical and demographic variables and diagnostic procedures.

In 100 patients (44.6%) PDB was diagnosed by chance. At the multivariate analysis, only the number of bones involved (OR for 1 site increment = 1.18, 95% CI: 1.007\u20131.402; p = 0.04) acted as an independent predictor for a clinical diagnosis. Some skeletal localizations were associated with a clinical diagnosis: the involvement of lumbar spine (OR = 2.085, 95% CI: 1.024\u20134.224; p = 0.043) was more likely in symptomatic patients; pelvis and tibia showed a borderline statistical significance.
