Introduction
Intramedullary osteosclerosis (IMOS) is a sclerosing dysplasia
associated with increased bone formation in the medullary cavity. The
term intramedullary osteosclerosis was introduced by Abdul-Karim and al
in 1988 to describe a rare pathology associated with new bone formation
localized mainly in the diaphysis of the tibia in adult female patients
[1]. It is a rare disease, without specific radiological signs
except for the osteosclerotic lesion and it is not associated with a
family history, infection, trauma or systemic disease [2]. Although
the diagnosis of IMOS is confirmed after excluding other sclerotic
lesions, it is not well recognized due to its rarity and absence of
specific signs. Consequently, these situations can lead to a delay in
the diagnosis. Here, we report the clinical and radiological
characteristics of a patient diagnosed with IMOS.
