Sclerosis when describing bone is defined as a pathologic thickening of the bone. Usually one area of bone will show this increased thickening. Sclerotic lesions are often seen in long bones, but can be seen in most, if not all, bones of the body. The sclerosis is caused by increased calcium deposits forming in a small area of he bone. These sclerotic lesions are best seen on imaging studies that pick up calcium like x-rays and CAT scans.
The diagnosis can mean cancer and other words used are descriptive of where these were found: humerus, tibia, sacrum, etc.

Sclerotic lesions are often signs of underlying disease, especially neoplasms. There are certain metastatic lesions that can often present with bone pain and sclerosis on x-rays. Further work up to find the underlying cause of a sclerotic lesion is needed.
