Description is made of a family of which in three generations five members presented a rare osseous distrophy. Medical information was obtained for about 46 individuals of the 107 who constitute the family. The affection shows resemblances with both the Camurati-Engelmann disease and hyperostosis corticalis generalisata familiaris. It is inherited through a dominant gene.
