Sterno-costo-clavicular hyperostosis (SCCH) is a rare inflammatory bone condition. This report details two cases presenting typical bone lesions without associated skin disease, contributing to understanding SCCH presentations.

Area of Science:

Orthopedics
Rheumatology
Dermatology

Background:

Sterno-costo-clavicular hyperostosis (SCCH) is a chronic inflammatory osteitis of unclear cause.
It characteristically affects the medial clavicle, sternum, distal tibia, and femur.
SCCH is sometimes linked to cutaneous manifestations.

Observation:

This study presents two patients diagnosed with SCCH.
Both patients exhibited the classic bony lesions indicative of SCCH.
Neither patient displayed any associated skin disease.

Findings:

The primary finding is the presentation of SCCH solely with bony lesions.
This challenges the notion that skin disease is a constant comorbidity.
Highlights the variability in SCCH clinical presentation.

Implications:

Broadens the diagnostic criteria for SCCH.
Suggests further research into the pathogenesis of SCCH.
Informs clinicians about potential SCCH presentations without skin involvement.
