Abstract
The diagnosis of osteomyelitis is usually clear by a constellation of clinical, radiographic, and/or scintigraphic findings. Computed tomography may be used to clarify the nature of a bony process. In addition to the CT findings already described, an additional finding is reported, consisting of the visualization of a small sequestrum. This finding has to be differentiated from the similar appearance in osteoid osteoma, intraosseous lipoma, fibrous dysplasia, and osteogenic sarcoma.Keywords
