Popis:	Osteomyelitis is a frequent pathology in the pediatric population. It is usually located on the fertile metaphyses of the long bones. However, there are rare locations such as short and flat bones. We report a case of chronic suppurative osteomyelitis in a scapular location in a 2-month-old infant with a late diagnosis. The identified germ was Staphylococcus aureus. The X-ray showed images of osteolysis of the scapula. Treatment consisted of double antibiotic therapy and drainage of the abscess with bone sequestrectomy, supplemented by immobilisation. The evolution was favorable after 2 years.
