    This case study highlights chronic osteomyelitis (COM) in a 60-year-old man that mimicked soft tissue sarcoma. This rare presentation underscores the importance of considering COM in soft tissue masses.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical imaging and diagnostics
    • Orthopedic pathology
    • Infectious diseases

    Background:

    • Chronic osteomyelitis (COM) is a challenging bone infection.
    • It typically presents with distinct radiological and microbiological findings.
    • COM can infrequently manifest as a soft tissue mass.

    Observation:

    • A 60-year-old male patient presented with a soft tissue mass.
    • Initial clinical and radiological assessments suggested a soft tissue sarcoma.
    • This presentation was atypical for chronic osteomyelitis.

    Findings:

    • The case details the clinical, radiological, and histological features of COM.
    • It emphasizes the diagnostic mimicry between COM and soft tissue sarcoma.
    • This is the first reported instance of COM mimicking a soft tissue sarcoma.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the need for a broad differential diagnosis in soft tissue masses.
    • Underscores the importance of integrating imaging and microbiology for COM diagnosis.
    • Informs clinicians about rare presentations of chronic osteomyelitis.
