ABSTRACT
We report a patient with an uncommon presentation in the form of massive bilateral calvarial hyperostosis with bi-parasagittal en plaque meningioma. The tumour was removed by bilateral fronto-parieto-occipital craniotomies. The patient was subjected to post operative radiotherapy to reduce the chances of recurrance. The management of such a case is a surgical challenge.

Os autores relatam um caso de ocorrência bilateral de hipertrofia dolorosa do tubérculo dos peroneiros em um jovem de 13 anos. Como näo havia história de trauma e antecedentes inflamatórios locais ou sistêmicos, a sintomatologia se deveu exclusivamente ao aumento de volume local, motivo pelo qual a opçäo de tratamento recaiu sobre a cirurgia. Apesar de sua baixa morbidade, o conhecimento desta patologia assume importância no sentido de aprimorar o diagnóstico diferencial das talalgias, mormente em crianças.
