Salmonella rib osteomyelitis is extremely rare; we found only one previously reported case. A 33-year-old man presenting with a discharging sternal sinus was diagnosed by means of computed tomography and bone isotope scans and confirmed by excision of the affected portion of the rib. The operation was curative.
