Hyperostosis
Introduction
Overview
Overview
Hyperostosis is an excessive growth of bone. It may lead to exostosis. It occurs in many musculoskeletal disorders.
It is the thickening of the cortical bone.
Hyperphosphatemia-hyperostosis syndrome (HHS) is a rare autosomal recessive metabolic disorder characterized by elevated serum phosphate levels and radiological evidence of cortical hyperostosis.[1] HHS is caused by mutations in GALNT3.[2]
