ABSTRACT
Acute osteomyelitis is a common condition in children. Only early diagnosis prevents complications. The location at the pubic bones is very rare, even exceptional at the pubis symphis. We report a case of osteomyelitis of the pubis in a young athlete of 14 years old whose symptoms were discussing an acute abdomen, to illustrate the unusual clinical presentation, so as not to miss the diagnosis and avoid unnecessary laparotomy.
