    AbstractChronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is an underrecognized autoinflammatory disease affecting the skeletal system. Its vague symptoms are often first attributed to growing pains, infection, or malignancy, which can lead to a delay in diagnosis for days to years. Untreated CRMO has the potential to cause debilitating skeletal deformities, arthritis, and chronic pain; hence early recognition and treatment are paramount. MRI is the gold standard for diagnosis. Treatment consists of various antiinflammatory medications and may also include bisphosphonates if vulnerable skeletal sites are involved. Even when treated, the disease may have a relapsing course lasting years.Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
