Plain radiography of the affected limb and hip demonstrated alterations typical of melorheostosis, such as unilateral cortical hyperostosis along the bone axis resembling "melted candle wax" involving only one body segment (left hemibody) and extending from the humerus up to the hand bones (Figure 1).
Radiographic image of hip shows iliac and sacrum hyperostosis (arrow), at left, with
the same finding observed in the upper limb of the patient.
