Abstract
Osteopoikilosis is a familial, rare condition only discovered on radiological examination for a coincident disease. It is characterized by numerous nodules of dense bone in the spongiosa of the metaphysis or in the epiphysial nucleus. They are particularly seen in the small bones of the hands and feet and at the ends of the large bones of the extremities. Most of the bones have been reported as being affected but the skull is rarely involved. This condition is usually symptomless and no specific treatment is necessary. A case of osteopoikilosis is presented with a brief review of literatures.
