Summary
Sternocostoclavicular hyperostosis, a rare condition, was studied in a patient with psoriasis and vasculitis. This case suggests a potential link between sternocostoclavicular hyperostosis and seronegative spondyloarthropathies.
Area of Science:
- Rheumatology
- Dermatology
- Immunology
Background:
- Sternocostoclavicular hyperostosis (SCH) is a rare, chronic bone disorder affecting the sternoclavicular and manubriosternal joints.
- The etiology of SCH remains largely unknown, with limited understanding of its pathogenesis and associated conditions.
- While often lacking HLA-B27, a association with seronegative spondyloarthropathies is suspected.
