[Clavicle osteolysis in MacDuffie's syndrome].
MacDuffie's syndrome emerges from systemic vasculitis as including recurrent urticaria-like skin lesions, episodic angio-oedemas, articular manifestations and abdominal pains, with a tendency to affect women. Renal involvement may burden the prognosis. Hypocomplementemia is usual by deficiency of the classical pathway. Corticosteroid therapy is habitual. The case reported, fitting to this nosological entity offers two new features: in the first place, the osteolysis of the distal part of the clavicle whereas the joints are not affected by destroying lesions; then the non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs was effective within a period of one year without complication.
