PEDRAZ PENALVA, M.T.. Migratory arthralgia and sclerosing bone lesions: differential diagnosis. Rev Osteoporos Metab Miner [online]. 2014, vol.6, n.1, pp.23-26. ISSN 2173-2345.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1889-836X2014000100006.

Osteopokilosis is a rare benign bone dysplasia that may result in musculoskeletal pain, although it is usually asymptomatic. It is frequently suspected and diagnosed by the incidental finding of characteristic bone lesions on plain radiographs requested for another reason. Identifying these lesions and ruling out other possible causes is crucial to carry out a correct differential diagnosis and to avoid unnecessary invasive studies. We describe a case of a patient 32 years old who was referred to our rheumatology department because of joint pain.
