B. Serum calcium
C. Urine analysis for alkaline phosphatase
D. Cytologic smear


The correct answer is A. A small swelling.

Paget's test is done for small swellings to know the consistency (cystic/solid). The centre and peripheries are palpated with index finger. Cystic swelling feels softer at centre than periphery whereas solid swelling feels firmer at center than periphery.
