Abstract
Massive osteolysis is a rare idiopathic bone disease resulting in progressive destruction of bone. Considering the rarity of encountering this fascinating bone disease, it is often misinterpreted as some other osteolytic disease. Hence, we present a well-documented case of massive osteolysis in a 29-year-old female patient with complete clinical, radiographic, macroscopic and microscopic features along with surgical photographs, which has been effectively managed at our hospital.
