Sumario:Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is a rare condition characterized by chronic relapsing noninfectious bone inflammation of unknown etiology. Although CRMO is considered an extraintestinal manifestation in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, most cases of CRMO are associated with Crohn’s disease; very few are associated with ulcerative colitis (UC). We herein describe a 21-year-old patient with UC who developed recurrent left thigh pain. The patient was diagnosed with CRMO associated with UC, which was well controlled with azathioprine treatment.
