摘要

Melorrheostosis is a rare osteosclerotic bone dysplasia of obscure etiology. The typical radiographic features are flowing candle wax, sub-periosteal bone and streaky endosteal bone formation in diaphyseal and epiphyseal area with sclerotomal pattern mainly involving appendicular skeleton. It is rarely associated with nerve palsies. The authors report a case of melorrheostotic mass causing sciatic neuropraxia and to the best of their knowledge it is the first case reported in the English language literature.
