Abstract

The case discussed is that of a 74 years old woman, diagnosed with diffuse skeletal hyperostosis, who also presented osteoporosis in the femur head (according to WHO criteria) with no reduction of bone mass in the DXA at the lumbar spine. We present a small review of such a widespread pathology and discuss the necessity to determine the bone mineral density, not only in the lumbar spine but also in the hip, to obtain an adequate estimation of bone mass in these patients.
