Mixed sclerosing bone dystrophy with regression of melorheostosis

Medical Renal Unit, Department of Medicine, and Department of Radiodiagnosis, Royal Infirmary, Edinburgh EH3 9YW

This excerpt was created in the absence of an abstract.

This report describes a case of melorheostosis associated with osteopoikilosis and clinical evidence of an arteriovenous malformation. A review of the patient 19 years later showed regression of some of the radiological abnormalities. Previous case reports have not noted regression of melorheostosis.

In childhood this 55-year-old female patient was noted to walk with a limp, and since then she has noted that the right leg has been warmer, larger and longer than the left. There had been no past history of trauma. Both her father and paternal great-grandmother were also known to have asymmetry of leg length.
