SAPHO syndrome, a rare inflammatory disorder of bone, joints, and skin, is named based on the presence of synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, and osteitis. The hallmark of SAPHO syndrome includes osteoarticular and dermatologic manifestations, however, rarer associations with inflammatory bowel disease (particularly Crohn's disease) have been documented. The literature on the relationship between SAPHO syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), especially ulcerative colitis (UC), remains limited.

SAPHO syndrome (synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, osteitis syndrome) is a systemic inflammatory disease characterized by a combination of both osteoarticular and dermatological manifestations. We encountered an interesting case of a 54-year-old female patient who presented with symptoms of recurrent chest infections. Extensive investigations, including laboratory tests and imaging, were conducted with an initial suspicion of malignancy, but the patient was ultimately diagnosed with SAPHO.

Considered rare, the synovitis-acne-pustulosis-hyperostosis-osteitis (SAPHO) syndrome is a distinct clinical entity, associating skin manifestations and osteoarticular symptoms. Anterior chest wall pain centered at sternoclavicular and sternocostal joints is an important and characteristic clinical finding that can lead to its diagnosis. Radiologists and clinicians must be aware of synovitis-acne-pustulosis-hyperostosis-osteitis syndrome as it can mimic some of the more common disease entities such as Paget's disease.

Article Synopsis
  • SAPHO syndrome is a rare inflammatory disease that is hard to diagnose and treat due to its various symptoms, lack of specific tests, and limited treatment options focused mainly on symptom relief.
  • A case study details a 32-year-old Chinese woman with severe joint pain and skin lesions, who did not respond well to standard treatments like NSAIDs and biologics.
  • After starting baricitinib, a JAK inhibitor, she saw significant improvement in her symptoms within two weeks, leading to a reduction in dosage, and no recurrence or side effects during follow-up, suggesting that baricitinib could be an effective new treatment option for this condition.
