title: [Buschke-Ollendorff syndrome in two generations imitated Calvé-Legg-Perthes disease].
abstract: Buschke-Ollendorff syndrome is a rare condition characterized by skin manifestations and osteopoikilosis. We describe a mother and her son who presented with indurated skin lesions suggestive of connective tissue naevi. X-rays showed multiple symmetrical foci of osteosclerosis. They had both been diagnosed earlier with Calvé-Legg-Perthes disease, which on revision most likely represented Buschke-Ollendorff syndrome. Buschke-Ollendorff syndrome may imitate Calvé-Legg-Perthes disease. Skin signs may be the clue to diagnosis. Main differentials are sclerotic bone metastases and osteoma.
