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.
黄色肉芽肿性骨髓炎是一种非常罕见的慢性骨髓炎形式，表现类似骨肿瘤。此前文献中已报道过3例黄色肉芽肿性骨髓炎病例。我们报告1例发生于胫骨远端的黄色肉芽肿性骨髓炎病例。该病例表现为一名13岁男孩的腿部肿胀。在本病例中，单纯刮除术被证明具有治愈效果。
