AI Article Synopsis
- Six cases of chronic inflammatory changes in the clavicle were reported, but no specific causative organisms were found.
- Four patients also had similar changes in other bones, indicating a possible diagnosis of chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO).
- The last two patients exhibited similar clavicular conditions, which could be classified as unifocal CRMO.
Article Abstract
Six cases with chronic inflammatory hyperostotic and sclerotic changes of the clavicle are reported. No causative organisms could be detected. Four patients had involvement of other bones including the thoracic spine, the femur, the tibia and the sternal end of the other clavicle. These may be classified as having "chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis" (CRMO). The remaining two patients with similar clavicular changes might have an, as yet, unifocal CRMO.

Autoinflammatory bone diseases (AIBDs) constitute a recently identified subset of autoinflammatory diseases. These conditions are characterized by an exaggerated inflammatory response in the bones without any apparent etiology. Inflammatory bone lesions associated with AIBDs exhibit chronic inflammation, are typically culture-negative, and do not exhibit discernible microorganisms on histopathological examination.

Background: Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a systemic non-inflammatory disorder characterized by enthesopathy and osteophyte formation. DISH can also cause several other symptoms. Limited range of motion (ROM) is the most common symptom; however, dysphagia and respiratory distress are clinically important symptoms.

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.

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.
