Abstract

The article examines the case of a 57-year-old patient with back pain which was described as constant and moderate to intense pain rating 8/10. Radiological findings confirmed the radiological impression of melorheostosis. Diagnosis of melorheostasis is made following the appearance of flowing hyperostosis characterized as wax flowing down the candle.
