[Leri's melorheostosis. Apropos of 3 cases in children].

Three pediatric cases of Leri's melorheostosis are reported. Growth disorders and deformities of the limbs are often the first signs in children. X ray shows areas of very opaque condensation of the long bones parallel to the main axis of the bones parallel to the main axis of the bone, and on the epiphyses, small dense and irregular islets. The course is benign but there may be orthopedic complications.
