Garre’s sclerosing osteomyelitis is a specific type of chronic osteomyelitis that mainly affects
children and young adults and is commonly associated with odontogenic infection. Here we
are describing a case of Garre’s osteomyelitis with a cloaca leading to external sinus tract in a
17-year-old girl, which caused due to long standing carious tooth in lower left jaw. Clinically
the patient presented with bony hard, non-tender swelling and the panoramic radiograph and
CBVI revealed periosteal sclerotic bone deposition adjacent to the lingual cortex and inferior
border of mandible
