J Foot Surg.

Abstract
Melorheostosis is a rare form of cortical hyperostosis that resembles wax dripping down the side of a candle. This disease usually affects the long and short bones of an extremity. Literature review and a case report will be discussed with respect to incidence, clinical presentation, radiographic appearance, and treatment.
