Osteopoikilosis a condition mimicking a variety of bone pathology is a rare osteosclerotic displasia. The diagnosis is usually done according to radiographs which are performed incidentally. Although bone scan is usually normal, especially in young patients abnormal tracer uptake can be seen. We report a 25 year-old female osteopoikilosis patient with abnormal bone scan and characteristic radiographic findings who had been diagnosed and treated inappropriately.
