Abstract: | Synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, osteitis (SAPHO) syndrome is a rare group of sterile, inflammatory osteoarticular
disorders classically associated with skin lesions. It is occasionally associated with enteropathic disease such as ulcerative
colitis. We present a 39-year-old patient with chronic ulcerative colitis who developed enteropathic SAPHO and responded well
to pamidronate. We discuss the clinicopathological features with particular attention to bone pathology, and perform a literature
review of this fascinating syndrome. |
