Abstract EN

Nonbacterial osteitis is a rare autoinflammatory disease.

Often it is mistaken for a tumor or osteomyelitis.

We present a case of a twelve-year-old girl referred to our hospital because of a lesion of the right clavicle.

The differential diagnoses were sarcoma, osteitis, and Langerhans cell histiocytosis.

After biopsy the diagnosis nonbacterial osteitis (NBO) was established.

Treatment of choice is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug.

This case report gives a complete follow-up of the disease, showing the pitfalls of the diagnosis.
