摘要：
Tubercular osteomyelitis is an important differential diagnosis of non-traumatic lesions of clavicle in children, particularly in developing countries. Diagnosis at this site is difficult due to poor visualization caused by overlapping anatomical structures. We report 3 cases of tubercular osteomyelitis of clavicle in children. All the cases were proven histologically before start of antitubercular treatment. One case required surgical debridement, and other 2 cases were treated with medical management only. Suspicion and obtaining tissues from multiple sites for examination is the key to diagnosis of this rare pathology. Multidrug antitubercular drugs with or without debridement is curative.
