Summary1 A brief discussion of Larsen‐Johansson disease, its history, aetiology, clinical findings and treatment is given. 2 A plea is made to restrict the term “Larsen‐Johansson Disease” to cases presenting clinically with the typical features. A normal accessory ossific centre discovered accidentally on X‐rays should not be called a disease. 3 Two new cases are presented.
