Osteoporosis Circumscripta Lesion is a rare condition characterized by localized bone loss in specific areas of the skeleton.

As a medical student, I had always found it challenging to remember all the important aspects of this condition, which can be very crucial for diagnosis and treatment.

However, by using the mnemonic “CIRCUMSCRIPTA LEsion,” I was able to memorize all the important features of this condition easily.

This mnemonic covers all the vital aspects of Osteoporosis Circumscripta Lesion, including the pattern of bone loss, the irregular shape of the lesions, cortical thinning, and the risk factors for osteoporosis.

It also reminds us that multiple lesions may be present, and that imaging is necessary for diagnosis. Moreover, it emphasizes the importance of assessing risk factors and discussing treatment options.
