Abstract :Background: Osteopoikilosis is a benign, asymptomatic disease, and is often diagnosed incidentally. It is characterized by symmetric, multiple, well-defined, oval sclerotic lesions distributed in the periarticular epiphysis and metaphysis of long bones. In symptomatic patients, treatment usually relies on pain relief. This case report presented an example of this rare disorder. Case Report: A 24-year-old male patient with unremarkable personal or family history was observed at the orthopedics and traumatology department due to bilateral knee pain. Physical examination revealed no specific findings. Antero-posterior insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(AP); and lateral radiographic views revealed several sclerotic oval blastic lesions in both knees. The patient was diagnosed with osteopoikilosis and oral naproxen sodium was prescribed for joint pain. Conclusions: Osteopoikilosis is a frequently asymptomatic bone dysplasia. Its clinical importance originates from differentiating other sclerosing pathologies, especially osteoblastic metastatic conditions. Joint pain is the most common symptom and is usually treated well with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
