Abstract
Sclerosing bone disorders are a rare group of diseases characterized by increased bone mass in both long and flat bones.

At present, the molecular and genetic characterization of these diseases has provided a better understand of their pathophysiology and phenotypic expression, however plain radiography continues to have an important role in the recognition of sclerosing bone disorders.
