Os acromiale is an unfused epiphysis of the anterior part of the acromion occurring in approximately 8% of the population. Infection of this joint has not been previously described in the literature. We report such a case in a 59-year-old woman presenting with shoulder pain. A high index of clinical suspicion, with early imaging of the shoulder leading to prompt and definitive diagnosis, can lead to appropriate treatment and produce a favorable outcome.
肩峰骨是肩峰前部未融合的骨骺，约8%的人群中会出现。此前文献中未描述过该关节的感染情况。我们报告了一例59岁女性出现肩部疼痛的病例。高度的临床怀疑，结合肩部的早期影像学检查从而迅速做出明确诊断，能够带来恰当的治疗并产生良好的结果。
