Melorheostosis: case report with radiologic-pathologic correlation

R R Brown et al. Skeletal Radiol. 2000 Sep.

Abstract

Melorheostosis is an unusual mesenchymal dysplasia, which commonly presents on radiographs as longitudinal bars of hyperostosis in osseous structures. We present a case of melorheostosis in the lower extremity of a 20-year-old woman for which detailed radiologic- pathologic correlation was achieved due to amputation of the involved limb.
