Melorheostosis of a rib

Melorheostos is a rare sclerosing bone dysplasia, characterized by cortical and medullary hyperostosis with typical “dripping candle wax” appearance, usually involving the long bones. Here, we present a case of melorheostosis of a rib, incidentally discovered in an asymptomatic adult patient.
