Primary sternal osteomyelitis

Primary sternal osteomyelitis is a rare condition. Only few cases have been reported in the English literature. We describe the case of a young woman presenting with persistent fever and chest pain. Radionuclide bone scan and computed tomography of the chest were consistent with metastatic neoplasm. Surgical intervention, however, revealed primary staphylococcal osteomyelitis and the patient was successfully treated with combined extensive surgical debridement and intravenous antibiotics.
