Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is a chronic, relapsing, inflammatory, non-infectious disorder of the skeletal system and is of unknown origin. Early diagnosis of the disease is essential to exact treatment. The relationship between inflammatory bowel disease and CRMO is understood as extraintestinal rheumatic manifestations. CRMO associated with ulcerative colitis (UC) is very rarely reported. This case is first report of sternocostal involvement in CRMO associated with UC.
