title: Melorheostosis with associated minimal change nephrotic syndrome, mesenteric fibromatosis and capillary haemangiomas.
abstract: Melorheostosis is a benign, rare, congenital disorder of hyperostosis of one or more bones. Associated soft tissue abnormalities are often observed. A case of melorheostosis with minimal change nephrotic syndrome, mesenteric fibromatosis and capillary haemangiomas is reported. A congenital mesenchymal defect occurring early in embryonic life is suggested.
