    Multifocal recurrent periostitis, a rare bone disorder, presented in siblings with early-onset arthropathy. Colchicine treatment showed promise for affected males, while females may see spontaneous improvement post-puberty.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Rheumatology
    • Bone Metabolism Disorders
    • Genetics of Inflammatory Diseases

    Background:

    • Familial occurrence of multifocal recurrent periostitis (MRP) is rare.
    • Early-onset arthropathy and bone inflammation present diagnostic challenges.

    Observation:

    • A brother and sister presented with early-onset, episodic, migrating arthropathy.
    • Radiography revealed reversible periosteal reactions in long bones.
    • Scintigraphy and histology confirmed sterile osteitis and periosteal thickening, ruling out infection.

    Findings:

    • The female sibling experienced spontaneous disease remission after puberty.
    • The male sibling showed significant improvement with colchicine therapy.
    • This suggests a potential sex-based difference in disease course and treatment response.

    Implications:

    • Colchicine may be an effective treatment for male patients with MRP.
    • Understanding the genetic and hormonal influences on MRP is crucial for targeted therapies.
    • Further research into sterile osteitis mechanisms can inform management of bone inflammatory conditions.
