ABSTRACT
Background: osteopetrosis includes a group of osseous diseases characterized by an increase o f
the bone density due to an osteoclastic dysfunction. It is also known as marble disease or Albers-Schönberg
disease.
Objective: to present a case w ith marble osteopetrosis and make the review of the topic.
Clinical case: a fourteen-year-old male patient who presented bone pain that spread to the limbs, as well
as severe headache that motivated a neurology study. A predominance of the left mastoid region denied the
presence of articular inflammation, fever, rash, nodules or skin lesions. There were not elements of
medullary hypoplasia associated to the disease of this patient. In the present physical examination no
chronic disease was found. The x-rays of the patient show a widespread increase of the bone density,
deformities caused by desalination and diffused bone sclerosis; all this means dense, broad bones without
medullary channel which represents hypermineralized cartilages.
Conclusions: the radiologic studies w ere positive and con firmed the diagnosis of marble
osteopetrosis (benign). The use of other imaging studies was not necessary to confirm it.
