Abstract

Osteopoikilosis is a rare, hereditary disorder of bone tissue. Most frequently this abnormality is asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally on the basis of X-ray images, taken on other occasions. The characteristic radiographic appearance consists of oval or round, well-defined osteosclerotic foci in various sites of skeleton (pelvis, hands and feet, epiphyses of long bones). In the present paper a case of inborn osteopoikilosis in 23-year-old female patient is described. Typical bone abnormalities founding in her mother implicate an inherited character of this disorder.
