Abstract

We report a new disorder which we have called genochondromatosis II. The disorder is similar in mode of inheritance and long bone changes to that named genochondromatosis but shows some distinctive features, namely involvement of short tubular bones and normal clavicles. The disorder has a benign clinical course and may be discovered incidentally. Accurate diagnosis is important for proper genetic counselling.
