“…It may affect a single bone (monostotic), a single limb (monomelic), or multiple bones (polyostotic). The monomelic variant is more common, with the lower extremity affected twice as often as the upper extremity (Dhillon, 2017).…”

Background: Melorheostosis is a rare sclerosing bone dysplasia characterized by its classic radiographic feature of flowing/dripping candle wax. It usually affects one limb, more often the lower extremity, and rarely the axial skeleton. The etiology remains unknown and various theories have been proposed to explain the pathogenesis of this disease. It often has an insidious onset in early adult life. Symptoms include pain, oedema, and limitation of joint movement. Case presentation: A patient aged 25 year old male complaint of pain on the left lower extremity for the last 3 years. There is muscle atrophy at left extremity, bowing of the thigh, awelling at the foot. There is palpable mass at the left bottom, solid consistency and fixed. There are also limitation ROM of hip, knee and ankle. From the radiography examination showed inhomogen thickening of the periosteal cortical and endosteal, dripping candle wax appearance, and sclerotic lesion at soft tissue. Conculsion: X-ray is a sufficient method for diagnosis of melorheostosis.Other imaging techniques are essential for decision about therapeutic intervention (CT or MRI). Laboratory findings are usually in physiological range. Symptomatic therapy proved to be sufficient in subjective symptoms management.

This study analyzed the intention, specific measures, and implementation challenges of the Location Normalization Plan using a questionnaire survey results from 332 municipalities. The analysis showed that the induction of the urban function is not restricted to economic reasons alone, although a large segment of the municipalities showed some understanding of the principles and economic necessity of this plan. In addition, the majority of municipalities are adopting a cautious stance toward the intensification of urban facilities and residential mobility with legal force on the basis of political considerations. It seems that the perception gap between the national government and local municipalities currently remainins wide.
