Adult cats are infrequently affected, and mainly on cranial bones. The bony enlargements are painless, but may cause musculoskeletal or neurological dysfunction. Neoplastic transformation has been reported. An hereditary basis is suspected in dogs. Called also diaphyseal aclasis, metaphyseal aclasis, osteochondromatosis, and in horses, inherited multiple exostosis (see above). See also osteophyte.
