Pustulotic arthro-osteitis (PAO) is a rare chronic inflammatory arthropathy associated with palmoplantar pustulosis. The pathogenesis of PAO remains unclear. The most common musculoskeletal involvement in PAO is ossification of the sternoclavicular joints. A combination of parietal inflammation and hyperostosis-induced mechanical compression in this region is hypothesized to contribute to multiple venous thrombosis. Here, we present a 66-year-old man with PAO-associated multiple venous occlusion who was successfully treated with guselkumab. We also discuss its clinical manifestation and cause by reviewing the literature.
