Sclerosing bone dysplasias comprise a heterogeneous group of disorders (skeletal dysplasias) united by the presence of sclerosis of one form or another:
- craniodiaphyseal dysplasia
- craniometaphyseal dysplasia
- Buschke-Ollendorff syndrome
- hereditary multiple diaphyseal dysplasia (Ribbing disease II)
- hyperostosis corticalis generalisata (van Buchem syndrome)
- intramedullary osteosclerosis
- melorheostosis
- metaphyseal dysplasia (Pyle disease)
- mixed sclerosing bone dysplasia
- Nakamura disase
- osteopoikilosis
- osteopathia striata (Voorhoeve disease)
- osteopathia striata with cranial sclerosis (Horan-Beighton syndrome)
- osteopetrosis (Albers-Schönberg disease)
- parastremmatic dysplasia
- pyknodysostosis
- progressive diaphyseal dysplasia (Camurati-Engelmann disease)
- sclerosteosis (Truswell-Hansen disease)
- Worth disease
Some of these entities are thought to be related (e.g. osteopoikilosis, melorheostosis and Buschke-Ollendorff syndrome) 1.
