SAPHO (synovitis-acne-pustulosis-hyperostosis-osteitis) syndrome is a chronic inflammatory disease involving multiple organs such as skin and bones. At present, its etiology and pathogenesis are still unclear. Due to the variety of clinical manifestations and the small number of SAPHO syndrome involving the mandible, accurate diagnosis is difficult for oral and maxillofacial surgeons. Here, the authors report that a male patient with SAPHO syndrome involving the maxillofacial skin and mandible, followed for 3 years. We used Tc-MDP (technetium-99 conjugated with methylene disphosphonate) (commercially known as Yunke) to treat this disease and achieved significant clinical treatment. This suggests that Tc-MDP can be used as a bisphosphonate to treat SAPHO syndrome.

The complex interaction between the immune system and autoinflammatory disorders highlights the centrality of autoimmune mechanisms in the pathogenesis of autoinflammatory diseases. With the exploration of PSTPIP2, it has been discovered to play an inhibitory role in immune diseases, suggesting its potential utility in the research and treatment of rheumatic diseases. This review outlines the mechanisms of PSTPIP2 in chronic multifocal osteomyelitis (CMO), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), synovitis-acne-pustulosis-hyperostosis-osteitis (SAPHO) syndrome, liver diseases, renal diseases, pressure ulcer sepsis and diabetic obesity.

Aim: SAPHO (synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis and osteitis) syndrome is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by typical cutaneous lesions (palmoplantar pustulosis and eruptive acne) and osteoarticular symptoms (aseptic osteomyelitis and joint inflammation). This study aims to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and safety of Janus kinase 1 (JAK1) inhibitor abrocitinib in patients with SAPHO syndrome.

Methods: We presented a patient with SAPHO syndrome with accelerated disease progression who did not respond to traditional therapies.

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.
