摘要：

We report on a female African immigrant who developed chronic pain as a consequence of osteomalacia. Due to cultural particularities in pain expression, her symptoms were first attributed to a major depressive episode. Cultural factors influencing pain perception and expression are reviewed. The importance of working with competent interpreters in cross-cultural settings is emphasized.
