Abstract

Hajdu-Cheney syndrome which is also known as type VI idiopathic osteolysis is a rare disease transmitted autosomal dominantly. In this syndrome, osteolysis involves primarily the terminal phalanges. We describe here a 18-year-old boy with typical clinical and radiological signs of Hajdu-Cheney syndrome.
