We report on a female fetus of 24 weeks whose clinical and radiological fin
dings were compatible with boomerang dysplasia (BD). However, histopatholog
y was unusual with a lateral fan shaped diaphyseal ossification. This has n
ever been described either in typical atelosteogenesis I (BT-I) or in ED. T
he purpose of this report is to find out if this condition is a separate le
thal bone dysplasia or another histological feature of the nosological grou
p of AT-I and ED.
