A bone island, also known as an enostosis, is a benign, small area of increased bone density typically found within the hip or other bones. It appears as a radiopaque lesion on imaging studies like X-rays or CT scans, often discovered incidentally during evaluations for other conditions. Bone islands are usually asymptomatic and do not require treatment, as they are considered a normal variant. Their exact cause is not fully understood, but they are generally regarded as a harmless finding.
