Symmetric Presentation of Melorheostosis Involving Multiple Flat Bones in the Thorax: A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
enchymal dysplasia of bone that is diagnosed by a characteristic linear cortical hyperostosis with a flowing candle wax appearance (1-3). It commonly affects long bones, usually in the lower limb and on one side of the body. The involvement of flat bones is rare (1, 2). In addition, bilateral involvement is extremely rare, with only one case of long tubular bones with a symmetric distribution reported to date. We present the first case of melorheostosis with multiple flat bone involvement and symmetric distribution of the lesions.
