Melorheostosis is a rare, benign connective-tissue disorder characterized by a cortical thickening of bone with irregular dense hyperostosis that appears to flow along the cortex. We review the literature to date, etiology, clinical aspects, roentgenographic features, histology, and treatment of melorheostosis.
