Abstract
Fourteen cases of Paget''s disease of bone seen in an African community over a 4-year period are reported. During a comparable 4-year period, no case of Paget''s disease was seen in a busy radiology department of a teaching hospital in Nigeria. It is suggested that Paget''s disease of bone may not be uncommon in some African communities and that the striking geographical variation in the incidence of this disease in Europe, America and elsewhere is applicable to Africa also.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
