*Idiopathic hyperostosis in calvaria of young male Bullmastiffs
*5-10mths old, male
*Similar to [[Bones Hyperplastic and Neoplastic - Pathology#Craniomandibular osteopathy|craniomandibular osteopathy (CMO)]]
*Progressive and often assymetrical skull bone formation
*Grossly:
**Trabeceulae of the calvarial diploe are thickened and contiguous with a sunburst-like pattern of subperiosteal trabeculae composed of [[Bones - Anatomy & Physiology|woven and lamellar bone]]
**Considerable remodeling (contrast with [[Bones Hyperplastic and Neoplastic - Pathology#Craniomandibular osteopathy|CMO]] – where there is rarely much remodeling of the woven bone to lamellar cortical bone)
*Histologically:
**Mild inflammation (mainly [[Neutrophils|neutrophils]])
**Loose fibrovascular connective tissue supporting stroma
*May be familial, ?sex linked
