Abstract
Summary A case of chondrodystrophia calcificans congenita is presented with roentgenographic and photographic evidence. It represents the twenty-fourth instance to be reported, although others may have been reported under different names. It must be considered a dystrophy of bones having their origin in cartilage and involving the epiphyseal ends of long bones with stippled calcium deposits; other bones where cartilage is a precursor may similarly be involved. It is particularly notable in the epiphyseal centers of the small bones of the hands and feet. Chondrodystrophic changes in the long bones are noted and often the fibular length exceeds that of the tibia.
