چکیده
Paget's disease of bone is a common metabolic bone disease in most of the European countries. The disease has distinct geographical distribution being rare in Asia. We report Paget's disease in a 70 years old Pakistani male who presented with history of pain in right leg with difficulty in walking for the last 5 months. Plain X-ray raised suspicion of Paget's disease of bone. Technetium-99m MDP bone scan showed involvement of multiple bones. Bone biopsy confirmed the diagnosis. This case illustrates that Paget's disease of bone does exist in Pakistan.

Recklinghousen in 1891 were not examples of osteitis fibrosa generalisata and hence of hyperaparathyroidism, but were suffering from "polyostotic fibrous dysplasia." The book concludes with an account of Paget's disease, vith an ingenious, if not very satisfactory, attempt to explain its pathological physiology. It, however, has some useful points in treatment, one or two glasses of milk daily ...
متن کاملPET-positive polyostotic fibrous dysplasia mimicking Ollier disease.
Fibrous dysplasia can be monostotic or, less commonly, polyostotic. The imaging features of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia may closely mimic those of metastatic bone disease, Paget disease, or enchondromatosis (Ollier disease). We present a unique case of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia in a 57-year-old female with a medical history of enchondromas involving the proximal phalanges of the left hand...
متن کاملSegregation of a M404V mutation of the p62/sequestosome 1 (p62/SQSTM1) gene with polyostotic Paget's disease of bone in an Italian family
Mutations of the p62/Sequestosome 1 gene (p62/SQSTM1) account for both sporadic and familial forms of Paget's disease of bone (PDB). We originally described a methionine-->valine substitution at codon 404 (M404V) of exon 8, in the ubiquitin protein-binding domain of p62/SQSTM1 gene in an Italian PDB patient. The collection of data from the patient's pedigree provided evidence for a familial for...
متن کاملOsteosarcoma complicating familial Paget's disease.
A most unusual family with aggressive Paget's disease is reported. Three brothers out of 10 siblings developed the disease at a relatively early age. Two of these brothers developed an osteosarcoma and died. It is emphasized that very little information is available concerning the predisposition to severe polyostotic disease and even sarcomatous change when Paget's disease begins at a young age...

The case of a man who was diagnosed as having polyostotic Paget's disease at the age of 52 years is described. He developed a rare neoplastic complication of Paget's disease--a giant cell tumour in his mandible, which was excised. Nine years after the diagnosis of this tumour he developed a new giant cell tumour arising from the L3 vertebral body. He was born in Avellino in Italy, from where fi...
