Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis is often confused with symm etrical Brodie's abscess as it has a similar pathogenesis, We report a n otherwise healthy 17-year-old boy presenting with a true symmetrical Brodie's abscess. We conclude that a symmetrical Brodie's abscess pre senting in an otherwise healthy patient is a separate clinical conditi on with a different management protocol.
