Short summary
Pubic bone osteomyelitis (PBO) is a rare complication with sometimes delayed development in patients who have received radiotherapy or surgery of the pelvic region for cancer treatment. In this single-center case series of patients with cancer, we sought to characterize outcomes of PBO. We conducted a retrospective analysis of 26 patients and found that a combination of surgical debridement plus targeted antibiotic therapy offered the best outcomes.
