Crohn's-associated chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis responsive to infliximab

Ellen Carpenter et al. J Pediatr. 2004 Apr.

Abstract

We report a case of chronic recurrent clavicular osteomyelitis in association with Crohn disease. Steroid therapy resulted in partial remission; however, intractable shoulder pain and an enlarging clavicular mass subsequently recurred. Infliximab therapy resulted in significant improvement in the degree of bone pain and resolution of the large sclerotic clavicular lesion.
