a. AP radiograph of the lower extremities demonstrates multiple well defined eccentric lesions with sclerotic borders in the femora, tibiae and fibulae. The lesions are primarily in the metaphyses. b. AP radiograph of the upper extremity demonstrates similar pressure erosions in the humerus, radius and ulna. c, d. AP radiographs of the lower (c) and upper (d) extremities 3 months later demonstrate interval improvement in the bony lesions. (Courtesy of Daniel Weissberg, MD, Orange, CA)
