SAPHO syndrome: a followup study of 19 cases with special emphasis on enthesis involvement.

Objective: To study the natural history, prognosis, and nosology of synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, osteitis (SAPHO) syndrome.

Methods: We performed clinical, radiological, and biological reassessment of 19 cases of SAPHO syndrome (13 with pustulosis palmaris et plantaris, 3 with acne, 3 with no dermatological manifestations) after a mean disease course of 12.3 yrs (1-35).

[Extramedullary hematopoiesis. An unusual cause of Pagetic spinal cord compression].

An original case is reported: spinal cord compression due to extramedullary hematopoiesis of the epidural space, related to Paget's disease of bone, successfully treated by surgery. Extramedullary hematopoiesis, usually occurring in cases of hematological disease, can also complicate Paget's disease, probably by bone effraction mechanism. A review of literature has found 5 other cases of extramedullary hematopoiesis occurring in Paget's disease, without hematological disease.

[Bone marrow necrosis in malignant hemopathies. 7 cases].

The authors report 7 cases of bone marrow necrosis during hematological malignant diseases:3 leukemia, 4 lymphoid malignancies. The main clinical features were bone pain and fever. The bone marrow aspiration and/or biopsy allow diagnosis.

[Parosteal sarcoma of the radius in the course of etretinate therapy].

A parosteal osteosarcoma of the right radius has developed in a patient treated for a long time by etretinate (total dose: 73 g). If brachial ossifications have been reported to etretinate in 2 cases, they were benign tumours; so coincidence is possible in our case. Nevertheless, a relation between the tumour and the treatment cannot be excluded and justify the report of this observation.
