Abstract EN
Xanthogranulomatous osteomyelitis is a very rare form of chronic osteomyelitis which presents like a bone tumor.
Three cases of xanthogranulomatous osteomyelitis have been described previously in the literature.
We present a case of xanthogranulomatous osteomyelitis occurring in the distal part of tibia.
This case presented as swelling in a 13-year-old boy.
Simple curettage proved to be curative in the present case.
