| Abstract: | Summary. Five cases of Paget's disease of bone in Nigerians are reported. Original films were available in only two cases and show changes typical of Paget's disease. One of these has been followed for 9 years. One other case with an alkaline phosphatase of 37 KA units went to U.K. where the diagnosis was confirmed. Two of the five cases have only the original X-ray reports as evidence of the disease. Osteitis deformans is still thought to be uncommon in Nigerians but this report is not intended to prove or disprove this general impression, only to document its existence in Nigerians. |
