Cureus. 2018 Sep 4;10(9):e3253. doi: 10.7759/cureus.3253.

Abstract

Osteopoikilosis is a rare condition that is characterized by multiple small non-aggressive appearing sclerotic foci in a periarticular distribution. Typically, it does not cause any symptoms and is diagnosed incidentally on imaging studies done for other reasons. We present a case of osteopoikilosis in a 37-year-old male, which was diagnosed incidentally on radiographs.

Keywords: incidental finding; osteopoikilosis; radiography; sclerotic lesion.
