Melorheostosis is a rare entity belonging to the group of sclerotic bone dysplasias. Described for the first time in 1922 by Leri, it remains imperfectly known as clinical presentations are highly variable, and the etiological diagnosis is not fully elucidated. We report a case of polyostoticmelorheostosis for which radiological investigations were complete, in order to study this disease.
致密性骨炎是一种罕见的属于硬化性骨发育异常类别的病症。1922年由勒里首次描述,由于临床表现高度多变且病因诊断尚未完全阐明,人们对其了解仍不全面。我们报告一例多骨型致密性骨炎病例,其放射学检查完整,以便研究这种疾病。
