Osteopetrosis

Discussion:

The patient came for for general adult medical exam. 

Chest x-ray showed generalized increase in bone density with loss of the normal medullary cavity (lost cortico-medullary differentiation) which was typical for osteopetrosis.

A pelvic x-ray was be requested as additional study for confirmation. Autosomal dominant adult subtype was considered.
