    Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis (DISH) often presents with extra-spinal changes, including bone spurs and ligament ossification. Radiographic patterns in the peripheral skeleton can suggest DISH diagnosis even without spinal imaging.

    Area of Science:

    • Rheumatology
    • Radiology
    • Orthopedics

    Background:

    • Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis (DISH) is a common condition characterized by calcification and ossification of ligaments.
    • While spinal changes are characteristic, extra-spinal manifestations are less frequently emphasized.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the extra-spinal manifestations of DISH in a cohort of patients.
    • To evaluate the diagnostic utility of peripheral skeletal radiographic patterns in identifying DISH.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 73 consecutive cases of DISH identified during thoracic radiographic screening.
    • Detailed assessment of spinal and extra-spinal radiographic features, including "whiskering," ossification, osteophytes, and spurring.

    Main Results:

    • All 73 patients exhibited characteristic spinal changes of DISH.
    • Common extra-spinal findings included "whiskering" at muscle attachment sites, ligament/tendon ossification, periarticular osteophytes, and calcaneal/olecranon spurring.
    • Peripheral radiographic patterns were often distinctive, aiding diagnosis without axial imaging.

    Conclusions:

    • Extra-spinal manifestations are a frequent and recognizable component of DISH.
    • Radiographic assessment of the peripheral skeleton can be valuable for diagnosing DISH, even in the absence of spinal findings.
    • The etiology of DISH remains undetermined despite characteristic radiographic findings.
