The second case of Paget's disease (osteitis deformans) in a Chinese lady.
Paget's disease of the bone is extremely rare in the Chinese population. We report a case of a 91-year-old female patient who presented with a leg ulcer after an injury. On examination, she was incidentally noted to have bowing of the tibia and facial features suggestive of Paget's disease which was later confirmed with plain radiograph. An extensive search of the international literature over the last thirty years, including the use of Medline, has revealed only one other case report of Paget's disease in a Chinese patient in Thailand.
