  Introduction: Cases of children with pneumonia and extrathoracic symptoms such as abdominal pain, sickness, vomits or headache have been described previously. Pneumonia should be also included in the differential diagnosis of a patient with fever and upper extremity pain.
  Clinical case: We present a case of a patient with left upper lobe pneumonia and arm pain and fever as the single symptomatology.
  Conclusion: The diagnosis of pneumonia is a challenge in childhood, especially in those patients with little symptomatology, mild intensity or extrathoracic location. Knowing the extrathoracic symptoms that can associate pneumonias in pediatric age is important. In the case of our patient, with left upper lobe pneumonia, nature and distribution of pain is explained by the involvement of the roots of the lower brachial plexus by irritation or inflammation of the apical pleura.
