title: Oxalosis. An unusual cause of myelophthisis in childhood.
abstract: In a child with renal failure and oliguria due to hyperoxaluria myelophthisis developed as a result of extensive bone-marrow replacement with calcium oxalate crystals and an accompanying fibrous proliferations. The histopathology associated with this metabolic disorder was demonstrated in posterior iliac crest bone-marrow trephine biopsies, renal biopsies, and nephrectomy specimens. Crystals were demonstrated in biopsy specimens of transplanted kidneys within six weeks following renal transplantation.
