Abstract
|
|
|
|
Melorheostosis is a rare bone dysplasia of unknown etiology that usually affects a single limb and is characterized by cortical thickening, with a flowing candle wax appearance, extending vertically along the surface of the long bone. We report a case of polyostotic melorheostosis symmetrically involving multiple flat bones, ribs, and the scapulas. This is the first case of melorheostosis symmetrically involving multiple flat bones.
