Ten patients with congenital bone disease in whom bowing of the long bones was the predominant or only sign are described. The group was composed of three patients with Campomelic dwarfism, one with long bones bowing of Caffey's type, four with femoral bowing (two of them familial), one with bowing of the long bones of the lower limbs and one with bowing of the forearm bones.
