Abstract :Co-existence of Familial Mediterranean Fever(FMF) and Paget’s disease (PD)is very rare. In this paper, we aimed to present a case of FMF patient presenting with PD. A 62-year old male patient admitted with complaint of chronic low back pain and weight loss. An increased uptake at pelvis which was reported as paget metabolic bone disease was identified in bone scintigraphy. An infusion of 5 mg of zoledronic acid, calcium and Vitamin D treatments were administered. Paget’s disease (PD)is a rare condition in patients with FMF. The co-existence of FMF and PD should not be forgotten.
