Osteopoikilosis Demonstrating Multiple Joint Involvement in an Adult Male: An Incidental Radiographic Finding

Osteopoikilosis is a rare condition that is characterized by multiple small non-aggressive appearing sclerotic foci in a periarticular distribution. Typically, it does not cause any symptoms and is diagnosed incidentally on imaging studies done for other reasons. We present a case of osteopoikilosis...

description Osteopoikilosis is a rare condition that is characterized by multiple small non-aggressive appearing sclerotic foci in a periarticular distribution. Typically, it does not cause any symptoms and is diagnosed incidentally on imaging studies done for other reasons. We present a case of osteopoikilosis in a 37-year-old male, which was diagnosed incidentally on radiographs.
