Abstract
Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis is rarely associated with p ustular psoriasis in children. We describe a child with severe pustula r psoriasis in whom multiple fractures, bone deformities, and severe g rowth failure from chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis develope d. The recurrent fractures led to an incorrect assumption of child abu se. Both the bone disease and pustular psoriasis responded to treatmen t with etretinate.
