Section of Rheumatology, Children's Mercy Hospitals and Clinics, Kansas City, Missouri 64108, and Oregon Health and Science University, Portland, USA.

This case illustrates the continued evolution of the phenotype of a disease initially conceived as a familial inflammatory granulomatous disease limited to the triad of synovitis, dermatitis, and uveitis.
