Juvenile Paget's disease.
Juvenile Pagets disease (JPD), a rare genetic disorder characterized by markedly accelerated bone turnover, presents in early childhood. We report a child with typical features of JPD who remained undiagnosed till 15 years of age. Rarity of this disease in Indian literature and need for early diagnosis to prevent progression of disease prompted us to report this case.
