Abstract

A case of extensive fluoride osteosclerosis is presented because of its roentgenographic similarity to carcinoma of the prostate with widespread bony metastasis. Roentgenographic manifestation of the effects of fluoride in human bones occurs only rarely and is infrequently recognized. Although no treatment is indicated in this condition, it should be acknowledged because of the previously mentioned similarity to carcinoma of the prostate and its benign clinical course.
