Melorheostosis is a rare sclerosing bone dysplasia, known as Leri disease characterized by a "flowing" hyperostosis of the cortex. Classically, melorheostosis affects the long bones of the skeleton, especially those in the lower extremities. Involvement of wrist is rare. The radiographic appearance has been likened to "dripping wax down the side of a candle." The clinical and the radiographic manifestations of melorheostosis have been encountered in a 12-year-old male child. Examination revealed limitation of movements of right wrist. Conventional radiographs of right hand showed increase in density of scaphoid, lunate, Triquetrum and Pisiform, skeletal survey showed isolated carpal involvement, 3D CT scanning showed patchy increase of density with cortical dripping appearance of carpal bones.
