Camurati-Engelmann Disease or progressive diaphyseal dysplasia is a rare disease, characterized by limb pain and muscular weakness, and cortical thickening of the diaphyses of long bones. The authors report a case of a male patient with manifestations since his childhood, whose diagnosis was established later on, when he was an adult, with the disease already progressed, and when the same manifestations began in one of his sons. The importance of the differential diagnosis regarding other diseases concurrent with osteosclerotic and/or hyperostotic changes is emphasized here. Description of its evolution along the years is rarely found in the literature.
