title: Scurvy--the eternal masquerader.
abstract: Osseous involvement in scurvy is unusual in older children even though classical bony changes are well recognized in the infantile variety. This report describes two children with scurvy, aged 6 and 8 years, both of whom presented with bone pains and associated swelling. One child also had a pathological telescoping diaphyseal fracture--a complication not previously described in association with scurvy.
