Melorheostosis, also known as Leri disease or flowing periosteal hyperostosis, is a rare, non-hereditary, benign, sklerosing
bone dysplasia which radiologically characterized by the appearance of “melting wax flowing down a candle”.
We report on a 43-year-old woman with melorheostosis who had pain in the upper limp for 10 years, limitation of joint
movement and a deformity in the left third finger. Radiographies and bone scintigraphy were evaluated. All lesions of
melorheostosis in radiography were seen in bone scintigraphy. More than half of increased uptakes on bone scintigraphy
are due to degenerative process.
