Disease relevance of Osteopoikilosis

Technetium-99m pyrophosphate bone images should prove helpful when superimposed osseous disease must be differentiated from osteopoikilosis, osteopathia striata, or melorheostosis [1].

High impact information on Osteopoikilosis

Otosclerosis associated with osteopoikilosis [2].
Technetium-99m pyrophosphate bone images were contrasted with radiographic findings in two patients with osteopoikilosis, one with osteopathia striata, and one with melorheostosis [1].
Rheumatoid arthritis associated with osteopoikilosis: a case report [3].
Since she was asymptomatic, had no elevation of alkaline phosphatase, and the lesions did not take up technetium pyrophosphate on bone scan, she was thought to have osteopoikilosis [4].
We confirm that loss-of-function mutations in the LEMD3 gene can result in either osteopoikilosis or BOS [5].

Chemical compound and disease context of Osteopoikilosis

Coexistence of osteopoikilosis and discoid lupus erythematosus: a case report [6].
Tc-99m MDP uptake in osteopoikilosis [7].
