Abstract

Paget's disease is a osteometabolic disorder of bone remodelling which is rare in India and Asian countries. Its diagnosis in asymptomatic patients is done by incidental radiographs and bone markers. Present case report in female with low backpain emphasizes the importance of including paget's as differential diagnosis of unusual backpain patients. Treatment with Bisphosphonates and follow up with serum markers can prevent complications and achieve adequate disease control.
