Paget's disease of bone in ethnic Thai presented with urologic symptoms and misleading as metastatic prostate cancer: report of a case with a review of the literature.

Paget's disease of bone is common in some parts of Europe and in countries inhabited by European emigrants. In Western Countries, Paget's bone disease is one of the priorities in differential diagnosis for elderly patients who present osteoblastic lesions, so it is unlikely to be overlooked, even though patients may present symptoms unrelated to bone lesions. However in Asian countries where Paget's disease is rare, metastatic prostate cancer appears to be the most common cause for osteoblastic lesions, thus, the Paget's disease is unlikely to be of much concern.
