A case report describes a 55-year-old man who presented with pain in the left thigh for 6 months. Imaging revealed an expansile lytic lesion in the left femur, which was biopsied and found to have xanthogranulomatous osteomyelitis rather than a bone tumor. Xanthogranulomatous osteomyelitis is a rare chronic inflammatory condition that can mimic bone tumors on imaging.
