Idiopathic osteolysis of the multicentric type is a rather rare clinical entity without known causative factor at onset. It displays rapid clinical progression and destruction of bone is completed before the end of growth. A review of the literature is presented with a view in particular to useful classification of the different types of osteolysis. A case followed up at our clinic for surgery of the hand is described and discussed.
