Abstract:
We present the case of bilateral diaphyseal sclerosis in a 60-year-old woman with bilateral midfemoral pain for the last 8 years. There was no relevant medical or family history. Imaging work-up showed diaphyseal asymmetric intramedullary sclerosis with cortical thickening. No periosteal reaction or other soft-tissue abnormalities were apparent. Laboratory findings were also unremarkable, except for a mild elevation of erythrocyte sedimentation rate. Findings were strongly suggestive of intramedullary osteosclerosis, which was confirmed histologically. Intramedullary osteosclerosis is a benign rare condition and clinical awareness is important when considering the extensive differential diagnosis of disorders causing long bone sclerosis.

Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
