[Nasal polyps and osteolyses].
A 38-year-old man presented with a 2-month history of progressive leg pain. An x-ray film of both tibial bones showed multiple osteolysis. At the same time, nasal polyps were present. A biopsy of the tibial bone remained unclear. A carcinoma was not found. A biopsy of the nasal polyps revealed a Rosai-Dorfman-Destombes disease.
