Description
Osteopoikilosis is a rare autosomal dominant bone disorder characterized by the presence of multiple sclerotic lesions distributed throughout the axial and appendicular skeleton. Although generally asymptomatic, it can be associated with other skeletal and systemic abnormalities, such as contractural fibrosis, keloids, and malignant degeneration. We present the case of a male patient in whom the diagnosis was incidental after the identification of sclerotic lesions in routine radiographic studies.
