    I would like to thank you for publishing Dr. Gina Diprimio's article on osteopoikilosis ("Benigh Spotted Bones: A Diagnostic Dilemma") in your March 8, 2011 issue. Since the condition is rare and benign, I can imagine that you might have questioned the value of publishing the material, particularly in a format (a "primer") that was accessible to layman. Consequently, I would like to report that the article contributed significantly to my decision as a patient to accept a diagnosis that, in turn, resulted in my avoiding unnecessary surgery, and understanding why my decision was sound.
