[Vertebral osteosclerosis, sacro-iliitis and palmoplantar dermatitis. Apropos of a case]

The authors report a case of aseptic vertebral osteitis which they classify in the context of SAPHO in view of the association with unilateral sacro-ileitis and palmoplantar dermatitis. They stress the importance of recognizing this disease which is initially suggestive of either a bone disease (Paget's disease, bone metastasis) or infectious discospondylitis.
