[Paget's disease of the proximal ulna--a rare monostotic manifestation]

Bone changes of the upper extremity are rare manifestations of the M. Paget disease. Most frequently the disease affects the lower extremities, the pelvis followed by the calvarium and others. The rare asymptomatic, monostotic manifestation of Paget's disease of the left proximal ulnae of a 59 year old woman and the way of diagnosis is described. Symptomatic skeletal lesions are detected by radiological examination, bone scintigraphy reveals asymptomatic lesions. Laboratory tests (Alkaline serum phosphatase, Hydroxyproline in urine) monitor the activity of the disease.
