Malignant infantile osteopetrosis in a Filipino child / Mary Anne D. Chiong [and three others]
Subject(s): Online resources: Abstract: We present a female infant who presented with hematologic abnormalities, hepatosplenomegaly and eye problems and was initially considered to have a hematologic malignancy. Review of radiologic findings however, revealed a generalized increase in bone density, sclerosis of the skull and vertebra, and ‘bone-in-bone’ appearance. On the basis of the clinical history and the characteristic radiographic findings, she was diagnosed with malignant infantile osteopetrosis.| Cover image | Item type | Current library | Home library | Collection | Shelving location | Call number | Materials specified | Vol info | URL | Copy number | Status | Notes | Date due | Barcode | Item holds | Item hold queue priority | Course reserves | |
