ABSTRACT
Osteopoikilosis is an infrequent sclerotic bone dysplasia with discrete spherical areas of increased bone density. It has an autosomal, dominant inheritance with variable penetrance. It a diagnosed by the observation of characteristic images on x-ray films. Despite its lack of pathological importance, it must be distinguished from osteoblastic bone metastases, tuberose sclerosis, mastocytosis or sarcoidosis. We report a 23 years old male who presented a right ankle sprain. X-ray films showed important lesions in the trabecular bone of the tarsus, metatarsus and phalanges, as numerous small foci of osteosclerosis. The study was complemented with a pelvis, femur and a hand radiological study with similar findings. These findings led to the diagnosis of osteopoikilosis. Among his family members, x-ray films showed that the mother also carried the disease.
