title: Paget's disease of bone--clinico-pathology study of the first case report in Thailand.
abstract: Paget's disease of the bone is rare in Asia. We report a case of Paget's disease with clinico-pathology study and it appears to be the first case in Thailand. The case was a 44-year-old female of Chinese descent who developed pain in the left hip and sacral area for one year prior to admission to Vachira Hospital. The earlier clinical diagnoses were either osteoporosis or metastatic tumor. Biopsy of the right iliac bone was typical for Paget's disease of the bone.
