Enostosis

Osteopoikilosis results in multiple enostoses.

An enostosis or bone island is a small area of compact bone within the cancellous bone. They are commonly seen as an incidental finding on radiographs or CT scans. They are typically very small and do not cause any symptoms. No treatment is necessary. Multiple enostoses are present in osteopoikilosis.
