title: Melorheostosis of the toe: a case report.
abstract: A case of melorheostosis in a 57-year-old Japanese woman is presented. This case is noteworthy because of its unusual radiographic features and local findings and its unusually long follow-up period of more than 29 years. Melorheostosis progresses very slowly over a long period of time, and can show bizarre features, simulating malignant tumor.
