Melorheostosis: A Rare Case Report with Pelvic and Lumbar Involvement

This case details a unique presentation of severe monomelic melorheostosis in a 28-year-old Indian woman, involving the left lower limb, pelvis, and lumbar soft tissues. Radiographic and computed tomography imaging revealed extensive cortical hyperostosis with associated soft tissue ossifications. We discuss the clinical presentation, diagnostic approach, and management of this intricate condition, supported by illustrative imaging.

Abstract

This case details a unique presentation of severe monomelic melorheostosis in a 28-year-old Indian woman, involving the left lower limb, pelvis, and lumbar soft tissues. Radiographic and computed tomography imaging revealed extensive cortical hyperostosis with associated soft tissue ossifications. We discuss the clinical presentation, diagnostic approach, and management of this intricate condition, supported by illustrative imaging.
