Paget's disease of bone is more prevalent in populations of northern European origin and is thought to be rare in non-Caucasians. The population of the east end of London is multi-cultural with 45% from ethnic minorities. We report the case histories of eight non-Caucasian patients with Paget's disease of bone.

Key words

Paget's disease of bone; non-Caucasians.
