This case report describes an enchondroma of the distal phalanx of the right little finger in a 37-year-old woman with Camurati-Engelmann disease. Curettage of the tumor and artificial bone grafting were performed in May 2004. Surgical treatment resulted in a good clinical outcome with no evidence of recurrence at 5-year follow-up. The genetic relationships between Camurati-Engelmann disease an...

Camurati-Engelmann disease is a rare autosomal dominant bone dysplasia belonging to the group of craniotubular hyperostoses. Genetic analysis classically shows mutation on TGF?1 gene. A young woman was hospitalized with intense pain in lower limbs, associated radiographic hyperostosis and sclerosis long bones. Mutation LRP6 has recently been high mass. In this case report, missense variant gene...

RATIONALE Camurati-Engelmann disease (i.e., progressive diaphyseal dysplasia) is an extremely rare autosomal dominant bone disorder. The most common clinical manifestations were chronic skeletal pain, waddling gait, muscular weakness. PATIENT CONCERNS We described that a 27-year-old male with a 1-year history of intermittent tetany was referred for bone scintigraphy. The whole body bone scan ...

Suboccipital craniotomy and cervical laminectomy were performed in a patient with Camurati-Englemann's disease to relieve symptoms of medullary compression. In spite of surgical decompression, the patient expired on the fourth postoperative day from cerebellar herniation.

Temporal bone osteodysplasia can produce many different symptoms, such as involvement restricted to the temporal bone or impairment of other bones. We consider, in this study two entities that are rare osteodysplasia cases, which are osteopetrosis and Camurati-Engelmann disease, the latter being extremely rare. We present two cases of benign form of osteopetrosis (Albers-Schulenburg's disease),...

Camurati-Engelmann disease, progressive diaphyseal dysplasia, or diaphyseal dysplasia Camurati-Engelmann is a rare, autosomal dominantly inherited bone disease, characterised by progressive cortical expansion and sclerosis mainly affecting the diaphyses of the long bones associated with cranial hyperostosis. The main clinical features are severe pain in the legs, muscular weakness, and a waddli...

El síndrome de Camurati-Engelmann, también conocido como displasia diafisaria progresiva, es una enfermedad rara, autosómica dominante y con prevalencia uno por cada millón habitantes. Genera mutaciones del factor crecimiento transformante beta, que participa en la proliferación ósea. Son frecuentes las manifestaciones osteomusculares neurológicas, escasas expresiones laboratorio. diagnóstico s...
