Abstract
Osteopoikilosis is a sclerosing osteopathy which was first described by Stieda in 1905.
In this paper, we report one case of osteopoikilosis who is a man 25 years old.
In roentgenological picture, bone sclerosing condition was recognized at the edges of all long bones and pelvis except cranium, claviculas, ribs and vertebras.
Genetically, osteopoikilosis appears to be caused by a dominantly inherited autosomal gene.
This condition was usually discovered accidintally when searching for some other condition.
