Poliartraljinin Nadir Bir Sebebi: Osteopoikilozis

Abstract

Osteopoikilosis or spotted bone disease is a rare bone dysplasia of unknown etiology. It is characterized by an abnormality in bone maturation process and often found incidentally on radiologic examination. This disease, which has an autosomal dominant inheritance, has numerous, annular or oval, sclerotic lesions with regular borders. Although it is frequently asymptomatic, rarely polyarthralgia and joint swelling may occur. In this case, we aimed to show that the etiology may be a rare syndrome such as osteopoikilosis in the patient with the complaint of polyarthralgia.
