title: Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (C.R.M.O.). A case report and review of literature.
abstract: The case of an 8-year-old boy presenting two episodes of osteomyelitis of the left and right tibial diaphysis is reported. The recurrent course, the negative cultures and the symmetrical aspect of the lesions suggest the diagnosis of recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis. The location of the lesions at the middle of the diaphysis and the histological finding of predominant bone necrosis are unusual.
