Abstract:
SAPHO Syndrome (Synovitis, Acne, Pustulosis, Hyperostosis, Osteitis) was first described in the 80s by Chamot and Kahn. This disease affects both skin and bones, mainly in the costal area and anterior chest wall (Skin-Bone Disease). Clinical symptoms vary according to the age of onset and response to the treatment is uncertain. This is considered a rare disease, although its real prevalence is not known. SAPHO syndrome may occur in any age and both sexes are equally affected. In this article, we present a case of SAPHO Syndrome and review the most relevant aspects of the literature.
