SAPHO has recently been proposed as an acronym to identify a syndrome characterized by synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis and osteomyelitis. Several authors have, however, found that this rare condition may even occur without cutaneous manifestations. The work reported here presents the case of a 43-year-old male with skeletal involvement alone. An in-depth study of the patient revealed the arthro-osteitic pattern typical of the SAPHO syndrome. In agreement with previous reports, these data confirm that the present clinical picture of hyperostosis and osteitis, even without cutaneous involvement, is nonetheless related to the SAPHO syndrome.
SAPHO最近被提议作为一个首字母缩略词，用于识别一种以滑膜炎、痤疮、脓疱病、骨质增生和骨髓炎为特征的综合征。然而，几位作者发现，这种罕见病症甚至可能在没有皮肤表现的情况下发生。本文报道的病例是一名仅骨骼受累的43岁男性。对该患者的深入研究揭示了SAPHO综合征典型的关节骨炎模式。与之前的报告一致，这些数据证实，目前这种骨质增生和骨炎的临床表现，即使没有皮肤受累，仍然与SAPHO综合征有关。
