Abstract:
We have reported a case of erosive arthritis of the hand preceding the appearance of hidradenitis suppurativa in the ipsilateral axilla, which was mistaken for osteomyelitis. Recognition of this presentation is important to avoid unnecessary invasive diagnostic procedures and to initiate prompt treatment directed at the underlying cause.
