| Abstract | Synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, and osteitis (SAPHO) syndrome is an inflammatory clinical condition featuring aseptic bone lesions and characteristic skin manifestations (1). The association between skeletal lesions and skin lesions was first reported in 1961 (2). Subsequently, various terms were used to describe the disease entity until introduction of the SAPHO acronym (1). The age at presentation ranges from childhood to adulthood and the clinical and imaging features include a wide spectrum (3). Prevalence is estimated at no greater than 1 in 10000, which is probably an underestimate (4). The low incidence rate as well as the wide range of etiology and manifestations of this syndrome can complicate the diagnosis. Herein, we reported a case of SAPHO syndrome showing typical radiologic features. This case report was approved by our Institutional Review Board and the requirement for the patient’s informed consent was waived. |
