OVERVIEW
Melorheostosis is a rare, non-familial sclerosing bony dysplasia of poorly understood etiology. It is characterized by soft tissue contractures with overlying slowly evolving linear hyperostosis. It usually occurs in the limbs and frequently crosses synovial joints, and there is often ossification in local soft tissues.
