Abstract:
We have described a 38-year-old white American woman who had a 7-year history of pain in the left anterior chest, neck, right wrist, and buttocks. The pain fluctuated in severity and appeared to coincide with worsening of her skin condition, palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP). She manifested the typical skeletal features of an arthritic condition referred to as pustulotic arthro-osteitis, which is frequently associated with the characteristic rash of PPP. This is an infrequently described disorder in the United States, possibly reflecting lack of familiarity or confusion with related disorders.
