Infantile cortical hyperostosis also named as Caffey's disease is a rare self-limiting inflammatory disease that usually affects children during infancy. It is characterized by subperiosteal new bone formation usually involving the diaphysis of long bone as well as the ribs, mandible, scapula, and ribs. It is crucial to diagnose the disease at an earlier stage to avoid superfluous surgery. We report a rare case of infantile cortical hyperostosis of the scapula, its clinical and radiological features.
