Since 1893, when Carl Garréa 1 described the features of the sclerosing osteomyelitis, few reports have been published. This is a rather rare disease also named periostitis ossificans, nonsuppurative chronic osteomyelitis, and chronic osteomyelitis with proliferative periostitis. It is defined as an intense proliferation of periosteum with reactive peripheral bone formation caused by a slight irritation or infection without necrosis or purulent exudate. 2
