Abstract
Although osteopoikilosis is generally considered an accidental finding, several developmental dysplasias coexisting with this disorder have been reported. However, all authors have mentioned only one coexisting finding, and most of them are case reports. We report a family in whom various members had osteopoikilosis with 5 different associated lesions. We suggest that osteopoikilosis is a bone manifestation of a generalized fibroproliferative or stenosing disease.
