 We report two cases of osteopoikilosis, in siblings. Osteopoikilosis is a very rare disorder that is characterized by numerous small, oval or round, sclerotic foci. The proband was a 21-year-old man diagnosed with tenosynovitis based on pain in his right wrist in whom an X-ray examination revealed multiple sclerotic foci in the epiphyses of the long bones and pelvis. We made a diagnosis of osteopoikilosis and examined his elder brother and mother. The X-ray findings in his brother were similar to those of the patient. Osteopoikilosis is asymptomatic, and the diagnosis is frequently made incidentally as a result of a radiological examination for some other reason. Osteopoikilosis is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait, but its etiology is unknown. Treatment usually is unnecessary, and the prognosis is good. Our patient did not require treatment.
