This disorder also affects the cutaneous and soft tissues and leads to the formation of fibrosis and contracture. Due to the unique features of melorheostosis (dripping candle wax appearance), plain radiographs are often sufficient for diagnosis. Herein we report a case of melorheostosis in proximal phalanx and metacarpal bone. The case is a 21-year-old girl with intense pain in her left hand. She underwent conservative treatment and followed for five years. Outcome measures indicate pain reduction despite no significant changes in radiographs.</span></span></span> Melorheostosis, Leri disease, dysplasia, sclerosing hyperostosis, candle bone disease 56 60 http://modernmedlab.com/browse.php?a_code=A-10-73-17&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Mehdi Mohammadpour Mehdi.668491@gmail.com 10031947532846001969 10031947532846001969 Yes Bone and joint reconstruction research center, department of orthopedics, school of medicine, Iran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran Farid Najd Mazhar Najdmazhar.f@iums.ac.ir 10031947532846001970 10031947532846001970 No Bone and joint reconstruction research center, department of orthopedics, school of medicine, Iran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran Maziar Rajei Mr.rajei@gmail.com 10031947532846001971 10031947532846001971 No Bone and joint reconstruction research center, department of orthopedics, school of medicine, Iran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran Saeed Razi Saeed.razi.21@gmail.com 10031947532846001972 10031947532846001972 No Bone and joint reconstruction research center, department of orthopedics, school of medicine, Iran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran Heeva Rashidi heewarashidi@gmail.com 10031947532846001973 10031947532846001973 No Bone and joint reconstruction research center, department of orthopedics, school of medicine, Iran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran Mohammad Hassanzdeh hassanzadeh.moh@iums.ac.ir 10031947532846001974 10031947532846001974 No Bone and joint reconstruction research center, department of orthopedics, school of medicine, Iran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran
