Abstract
Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is a rare idiopathic inflammatory disease that affects mainly children and young adults. The clinical signs and symptoms are nonspecific, hindering and delaying diagnosis. Radiological and histopathological tests are essential for its definition. A case of CRMO is reported, demonstrating the importance of clinical, laboratory, and radiological data for diagnosis.
