Abstract

 Osteopoikilosis is a rare, benign, autosomal dominant disorder characterised by sclerotic bone lesions most commonly involving the hands, feet, pelvis, and ends of long bones. Lesions are typically found incidentally on imaging studies done for unrelated complaints. It may resemble bone tumor, metabolic disease, mastocytosis and tuberous sclerosis. Early recognition is essential to prevent unnecessary emotional distress and invasive testing. Herein we report a case presenting with knee pain whose radio¬logic investigation revealed typical osteopoikilotic lesions

Keywords
