The authors report a case of osteopoikilosis in a woman with HIV infection and pulmonary tuberculosis, and bone abnormalities suggestive of osteopoikilosis. The diagnosis of osteopoikilosis was incidental. Plain films and computed tomography images as well as a review of the literature are presented. To our knowledge this is the first report of association of these diseases.

Keywords: Osteopoikilosis, HIV, Radiology
