The epiphysis and metaphysis of the long bones, the phalanges and pelvic bones are the localizations which frequently involved. It appears as oval or round, homogeneous, symmetrical, uniform, radio-opacities. Osteoblastic metastases, mastocytosis, tuberous sclerosis and Paget’s disease should be considered in differential diagnosis.
