  • Title: [Buschke-Ollendorff syndrome in two generations imitated Calvé-Legg-Perthes disease].
    Author: Ali N, Fast S, Poulsen MR, Bygum A.
    Journal: Ugeskr Laeger; 2015 Jan 26; 177(2A):68-9. PubMed ID: 25612973.
    Abstract:
    Buschke-Ollendorff syndrome is a rare condition characterized by skin manifestations and osteopoikilosis. We describe a mother and her son who presented with indurated skin lesions suggestive of connective tissue naevi. X-rays showed multiple symmetrical foci of osteosclerosis. They had both been diagnosed earlier with Calvé-Legg-Perthes disease, which on revision most likely represented Buschke-Ollendorff syndrome. Buschke-Ollendorff syndrome may imitate Calvé-Legg-Perthes disease. Skin signs may be the clue to diagnosis. Main differentials are sclerotic bone metastases and osteoma.
