Abstract
I report a rare case of fungal osteomyelitis of ribs in a 23 year old male who presented with multiple discharging sinuses on the right side of the chest. The patient did not respond to medical management with fluconazole and ultimately surgical treatment in the form of excision of affected ribs and reconstruction with a pedicled myocutaneous latissimus dorsi flap had to be done. Fungal osteomyelitis although uncommon must always be thought of when treating a case of osteomyelitis of the ribs.
