Skeletal abnormalities in primary oxalosis.
A case of primary oxalosis and hyperoxaluria in a 16 year old boy is presented. The skeletal appearances in this disorder result from the deposition of oxalate crystals in the bone marrow. Prior to the advent of renal dialysis and transplantation these patients invariably died at a young age.
