Paget's disease of bone in a 85-year-old woman.
Paget's disease of bone is a rare disorder in India. Patients are usually asymptomatic and incidental radiological investigation invariably clinches the diagnosis. Increased alkaline phosphatase, X-ray, CT scan and scintiscan of bone can be done to confirm the diagnosis. Here we report a case of an 85-yr-old lady who had bilateral hearing loss for last 10 yrs, was admitted incidentally for some other complaints and on investigation diagnosed to have advanced Paget's disease of bone.
