AB Melorheostosis, also known as Leri-Joanny disease,1 is a very rare skeletal dysplasia manifesting as regions of bone sclerosis with a characteristic flowing candle wax appearance in the classical form of the disease. In addition to this classical pattern, 3 other types of melorheostosis have been described: osteoma-like, osteopathia striata–like, and myositis ossificans–like.
