A 12-year-old, neutered male, domestic long-hair cat was evaluated for a 6-month history of inspiratory stertor and epiphora. In computed tomography of the skull and pelvis, and radiographs of the thorax, right femur and stifle there was generalized osteosclerosis, with obliteration of the nasal turbinates and nasolacrimal duct obstruction. The cat also had a large fibrosarcoma involving the right pelvic limb. Osteosclerosis is a rare disorder that is poorly understood but has been described in several species. Various manifestations, potential causes, and radiologic findings of osteosclerosis are discussed.

Pycnodysostosis (PD) is a rare autosomal recessive skeletal dysplasia from impaired bone resorption due to osteoclastic dysfunction. The features of PD are deformity of the skull, maxilla, and phalanges; osteosclerosis; and bone fragility. We describe the case of a patient with complaints of multiple fractures of the lower extremities in the anamnesis and pain in the lower extremities, cervical spine, and shoulder girdle during physical exertion.

Cementoblastoma is a benign odontogenic mesenchymal tumor characterized by cementum production. Cementoblastoma is considered a relatively rare neoplasm with a predilection to the posterior region of the mandible. The main clinical differential diagnoses include hypercementosis, cemento-osseous dysplasia, condensing osteitis, idiopathic osteosclerosis, osteoblastoma, odontoma, and osteosarcoma.

Objective: To describe the clinical presentations and radiological manifestations of Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) in the extremities, with particular emphasis on radiologic findings, as radiographs are typically the initial imaging modality used in clinical practice.
Methods: Following the PRISMA guidelines, a comprehensive systematic search was performed across Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase databases, covering case reports from inception until August 1, 2024. Included were studies with pathologically confirmed ECD (CD68 positive and CD1a negative) that were evaluated with at least one imaging modality and provided detailed descriptions of radiological findings.

Pycnodysostosis is a very rare autosomal recessive disease. This disorder presents with osteosclerosis, leading to fragile bones, short stature, craniofacial abnormalities, laryngomalacia, sleep apnea syndrome, and many other findings. Difficulty intubation is very common.

- Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) is a rare condition that can present in diverse ways, including bone pain and osteosclerosis, making awareness crucial for early diagnosis.
- * A 50-year-old man from Ethiopia with a long history of symptoms was diagnosed after specific imaging and histological tests revealed classic signs of ECD.
- * Clinicians should recognize the characteristic features of ECD in patients with unexplained bone pain to ensure timely treatment and management of potential complications.
