Pott俟Q製 puffy tumor, a feature of osteomyelitis of the frontal bone, is a rare entity, especially in adults. Sir Percival Pott originally described this condition as a complication of trauma to the frontal bone. This is also a recognized complication of fronto-ethmoidal sinusitis. We present a rare case of Pott俟Q製 puffy tumor caused by an insect bite presenting initially as a preseptal cellulitis and explore its pathogenesis and management.
