Paget disease (PD) is a skeletal disorder that is characterized by excessive osteoclast activity and subsequent increased osteoblast activity that leads to disorganized bone formation. Here, we report a case of a patient whose symptoms initially raised concern for giant cell arteritis (GCA), but further clinical examination ultimately led to an alternative diagnosis.
