The value of multi-modality imaging in establishing the diagnosis of Adolescent SAPHO.

SAPHO syndrome (synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis and osteitis) is a rare chronic autoinflammatory disorder of unknown etiology. Radiological investigation, including the use of magnetic resonance imaging and nuclear medicine is pivotal to the diagnosis of SAPHO syndrome. We present a case of a 15-year-old male diagnosed with SAPHO syndrome displaying the classic diagnostic findings of this condition on bone scan and magnetic resonance imaging.

A case report of basic calcium phosphate deposition disease mimicking septic arthritis.

We report a case of a 53-year-old man who presented with a diagnostic dilemma mimicking septic arthritis. It is important to consider the diagnosis of calcific peri-arthritis clinically and recognize the hallmarks on radiograph and magnetic resonance imaging as this disease process resolves completely with conservative management like in our patient, and does not require operative intervention.
