Abstract:
Paget's disease is a disorder of middle or older aged persons in which abnormal osteoclastic and osteoblastic activity spontaneously occurs within the affected portion of any particular bone or bones. This causes a gradual gross structural alteration through continuous remodeling. The occurance of Pagets disease is extremely rare in China, Japan, Middle East, and Africa. We have experienced one case of Paget's disease of bone affecting the spine and femur, which is reported in this paper with brief review of literature.
