Abstract

Osteopoikilosis is a rare and asymptomatic disease of the bone that is often discovered incidentally on radiography. On a plain radiograph it is manifested by multiple, small, circular or oval shaped radio-dense lesions which are diagnostic for this condition and are often mistaken for metastatic disease. We present the case of a 24-year-old female patient with osteopoikilosis diagnosed incidentally on radiographs. Osteopoikilosis is a benign sclerosing dysplasia of bone of unknown aetiology that requires no specific treatment.
