title: [Familial metaphyseal dysplasia: incidental detection of an osteochondroma].
abstract: The authors take advantage of an incidental observation of osteochondroma in a patient affected by familial metaphyseal dysplasia to look further into the study of this congenital osteopathy. Examination of the family medical background brings to light the blood-relation of the patient's parents and the presence of the same clinical and radiological features in the patient's sister. Particular attention is given to histological and ultrastructural study of the removed bone tissue.
