OROZCO QUINTERO, Ricardo Andrés; JARAMILLO CABALLERO, María Paulina; VARGAS GRAJALES, Francisco y MOLINA, José Fernando. Melorheostosis with involvement of multiple bone structures and unusual distribution. Rev.Colomb.Reumatol. [online]. 2013, vol.20, n.1, pp.58-63. ISSN 0121-8123.
Melorheostosis, also called Leri's disease is a non-familial sclerosing bone displasia, with low prevalence and a etiology that remains unclear, it was described in 1922 by Leri and Jhonny; it affects men and women equally; it usually makes evident by age 20 years in almost half cases. This bone disease is usually asymmetric and involves primarily the lower extremities, with rare involvement of the skull, facial bones and spine. We report a case of a 49 years old, with involvement of multiple bone structures and unusual distribution.
