The objective of this case report is to highlight the importance of continued examination and evaluation to correctly diagnose and treat the rare condition of acromioclavicular osteomyelitis and associated septic arthritis. A 51-year-old diabetic male presented with right shoulder pain and overlying cellulitis without history of trauma, intravenous (IV) drug use, lacerations, prostheses or endocarditis later developed septic arthritis and osteomyelitis of the acromion and distal clavicle requiring operative management. Decision to re-image the joint using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with contrast after lack of symptomatic improvement was key to making the diagnosis.

Article Synopsis
- Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common skin cancer in the U.S., and regular self-examinations can improve treatment success.
- A case involving a 66-year-old man showed BCC misdiagnosed as osteomyelitis due to a long-term, non-healing shoulder wound, which was ultimately confirmed through biopsy.
- Effective treatment for BCC involves a mix of surgery, targeted therapies, and preventive measures, especially for individuals with high UV exposure risk, highlighting the need for vigilance in skin health monitoring.
