Sternocostoclavicular hyperostosis is a recently recognized disease entity of unknown cause. Although the condition bears similarities to Paget's disease, the limited and unique anatomic, clinical, and histologic findings support the hypothesis that this is a separate entity. The case reported satisfies the criteria for sternocostoclavicular hyperostosis and to our knowledge represents the first reported case to be complicated by thrombophlebitis of an upper extremity with predisposing subclavian vein obstruction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
