Melorheostosis is a very rare bone disease of unknown etiology characterised by linear hyperostosis and associated with fibrosis of soft tissues and the skin. This uncommon sclerosing bone dysplasia was first described by Leri and Joanny in 1922, and since then, until 1993, approximately 300 cases were reported in the literature. Linear scleroderma is a localised proliferation of connective tissue and has rarely been associated with melorheostosis. In this paper, we present a new case of melorheostosis with linear scleroderma which, to the best of our knowledge, is the first case reported in Turkey.
肢骨纹状肥大是一种病因不明的极为罕见的骨病，其特征为线状骨质增生，并伴有软组织和皮肤纤维化。这种不常见的硬化性骨发育异常最初由勒里（Leri）和乔阿尼（Joanny）于1922年描述，从那时起直至1993年，文献中报道了约300例病例。线状硬皮病是结缔组织的局部增生，很少与肢骨纹状肥大相关。在本文中，我们报告了一例伴有线状硬皮病的肢骨纹状肥大新病例，据我们所知，这是土耳其报道的首例此类病例。
