Sternoclavicular pustulotic osteitis (SAPHO). 20-year interval between skin and bone lesions.
In 2 cases of palmoplantar pustulosis, a 20-year interval was observed between the skin lesion and the bone involvement. In one case, the bone lesion came first. In the other a skin lesion was seen for 3 weeks without subsequent relapse. The 2 cases underline the multifaceted presentation of the condition for which we have coined the name synovitis acne pustulosis hyperostosis osteitis (SAPHO) syndrome.
