Abstract:
Essential osteolysis is very rare, slowly progressive disease. Its etiology and pathophysiology is still unknown. Only one case has been reported in Korea. We experienced one case of essential osteolysis associated with renal insufficiency involving bilateral carpal, metacarpal, tarsal, metatarsal bones, elbow, ankle. We report a case of 24-year-old female who had manifestations of essential osteolysis with renal insufficiency with brief review of literatures.
