ABSTRACT
CASE Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis, a misnomer in itself, is a rare disorder that presents infrequently to orthopaedic units. The differential diagnosis is wide, including neoplastic lesions and infection, which may lead to unnecessary interventional and surgical procedures. We present a case that exhibited the hallmark features of this condition-recurrent, multifocal, aseptic osteitis in a 9-year-old girl-and our rationalized management including imaging, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and bisphosphonates. CONCLUSION:
With increased awareness by orthopaedic surgeons, patients may be diagnosed and managed appropriately, enabling a benign course and limiting morbidity.
