Correct answer: B. Periosteal bone formation

  • A. Endosteal bone formation
  • B. Periosteal bone formation
  • C. Resorption of medullary bone
  • D. Resorption of cortical bone

Garre osteomyelitis is a chronic low-grade infection in young patients that stimulates the periosteum to lay down layers of new bone, producing a characteristic bony expansion. It is therefore a periosteal rather than an endosteal process.
