Abstract- Osteopoikilosis (OPK) is a painless rare hereditary disorder of autosomal dominance, characterized by radiological detection of multiple round or oval small osteosclerotic patches, clustered around the periarticular region in appendicial skeleton. OPK is an asymptomatic condition with a rare incidence of 1:50,000 and association of pain as a presenting symptom is still extremely rare.
