Osteopoikilosis

<v ->Osteopoikilosis I include here,

0:04

simply because the polka dot appearance

0:07

that was characteristic of this

0:10

may have a para-articular distribution.

0:13

So it's not uncommon in the pelvis,

0:16

particularly about the sacroiliac joint,

0:19

often at the margins of the ilium, about the hips as well.

0:24

And in this case, fairly widespread and dramatic.

0:28

This is one of the sclerosing-bone-dystrophies.

0:32

Generally not of great significance.

0:35

There's no pain.

0:36

There's really nothing to worry about

0:38

and certainly you don't confuse it

0:40

with prostate metastatic disease.

0:44

Osteopathia striata is another member

0:47

of this particular category.

0:49

And the third member, the most significant,

0:52

is melorheastosis, as we've talked about.
