Radiophosphate disclosure of subperiosteal bone formation in renal osteodystrophy.
Subperiosteal bone formation, in contradistinction to resorption, is an unusual occurrence in renal osteodystrophy, and particularly rare in the long bones of the lower extremities according to the radiological literature. Two cases are presented with radiographic and radiophosphate evidence of subperiosteal bone formation in the femora and tibiae, and both showed histologic changes of profound secondary hyperparathyroidism.
