A case of Weismann-Netter-Stuhl toxopachyosteosis in a 63-year-old man is reported. Bone deformities had been present since the age of 18 months. Tibio-fibular dysmorphism was severe. Radiological evaluation revealed other lesions encountered more rarely: bilateral femoral incurvature and exostoses, bilateral coxa vara, radio-ulnar incurvature and flattening of the last ribs. Two other previously undescribed lesions were seen in this patient; bradymetacarpism of the last four rays of the left hand and dysmorphic lengthening of the left patella. This case illustrates the widespread nature and unusual extent of bone lesions in the context of toxopachyosteosis.
