Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Pathology
  • Rare Genetic Disorders

Background:

  • Infantile cortical hyperostosis (Caffey disease) is a rare disorder characterized by bone overgrowth.
  • While typically benign, severe forms can lead to significant morbidity.

Observation:

  • This case details an unusual and lethal presentation of Caffey disease in an infant.
  • Clinical manifestations and pathological findings were meticulously documented.

Findings:

  • The study highlights the extreme end of the clinical spectrum for Caffey disease.
  • Pathological examination revealed characteristic, yet severe, hyperostotic changes.

Implications:

  • Understanding lethal presentations is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.
  • This case contributes to the literature on severe infantile cortical hyperostosis.
