An unusual presentation of garre’s osteomyelitis of mandible: A case report

Abstract

Chronic non-suppurative osteomyelitis, also known as Garre’s osteomyelitis is a local thickening of periosteum caused by slight
irritation or infection. Here, we present the case report of a unilateral bony swelling in the left side of the lower jaw associated with an
infection in an 8-year-old child. The radiograph revealed the pathognomic feature of ‘onion skin’ appearance. Surgical recontouring
of the lower jaw was performed since there was no evidence of bone remodelling after the removal of granulation tissues.
