Melorheostosis with Associated Minimal Change Nephrotic Syndrome, Mesenteric Fibromatosis and Capillary Haemangiomas

Abstract

Melorheostosis is a benign, rare, congenital disorder of hyperostosis of one or more bones. Associated soft tissue abnormalities are often observed. A case of melorheostosis with minimal change nephrotic syndrome, mesenteric fibromatosis and capillary haemangiomas is reported. A congenital mesenchymal defect occurring early in embryonic life is suggested.
