ABSTRACT
Osteopoikilosis is a sclerosing bone dysplasia, characterized by multiple oval spots of radiodensities within the trabecular bone. It occurs equally common among men and women. Prevalence is estimated to be as high as 1:50,000. Most reported cases have been found incidentally on roentgenograms taken for other purposes. We present a 58-year-old woman with OPK associated with fibromyalgia and active myofascial trigger point in upper trapezius muscles.

Osteopoikilosis is a rare, usually asymptomatic, autosomal-dominant bone disorder, which is generally diagnosed incidentally on X-ray. De Quervain's syndrome is a disorder characterized by pain on the radial (thumb) side of the wrist, impairment of thumb function and thickening of the ligamentous structure covering the tendons in the first dorsal compartment of the wrist. In this case report, we present a young woman with De Quervain's syndrome associated with osteopoikilosis.
