Review
Osteopoikilosis (OPK) is a benign, rare, asymptomatic osteosclerotic bone dysplasia which is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. It may develop during childhood and persists throughout life. Diagnosis is usually made incidentally according to radiographs. It may be confused with other conditions, such as osteoblastic metastases. OPK must be in differential diagnosis when multiple, small, well-defined, symmetric bone lesions are identified on plain radiograph to avoid alarming the patient with more serious disease and misdiagnosis. Bone scintigraphy is normal and useful for differential diagnosis. Although it is usually asymptomatic, effusion and joint pain can be found in 15-20 % of patients. In this study, we report a 17-year-old boy who suffers from low back pain and has a mother with similar involvement. He was diagnosed OPK radiologically. We also review the clinical manifestation, pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of OPK in this paper.

Osteopoikilosis (OPK) is a rare, autosomally inherited, benign sclerosing bone dysplasia of unknown etiology. It is usually found incidentally on radiological examination, presenting as multiple, small, well-defined,variably shaped and widely distributed sclerotic areas throughout the skeleton. In this study, we present a case report of a 56-year-old man suffering from low back pain who was radiologically diagnosed with OPK. His daughter was likewise diagnosed with OPK.

Osteopoikilosis (OPK) is a rare, hereditary, usually asymptomatic disease characterized by the presence of multiple, well-defined sclerotic lesions distributed in peri-articular locations, frequently diagnosed as an incidental finding. Differential diagnosis with osteoblastic metastases is fundamental. This article reports six cases of OPK diagnosed in Portuguese Rheumatology Centers.
