Abstract

Osteopoikilosis (OPK) is a rare, benign, and asymptomatic bone dysplasia that is developed during childhood and persists throughout life. This condition is generally found incidentally on plain radiographies made by other reasons. The main differential diagnosis is osteoblastic metastasis. So, OPK must be in differential diagnosis when bone lesions are identified on plain radiograph to avoid alarming the patient with more serious disease and misdiagnosis. In this paper, we review the clinical manifestation, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of OPK.

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
