Melorheostosis: a Rare Sclerosing Bone Dysplasia.

Current osteoporosis reports - 1 Aug 2017

Kotwal Anupam, Clarke Bart L

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Melorheostosis is a rare sclerosing bone dysplasia that affects both cortical bone and adjacent soft tissue structures in a sclerotomal distribution. In this review, we describe the natural history, radiological features, proposed pathogenesis, and management options for this debilitating condition. RECENT FINDINGS: Since its first description in 1922, about 400 cases of melorheostosis have...
