Basithoracic pain as first manifestation of pustulotic arthro-osteitis.
We report the case of a woman with atypical anterior basithoracic pain as only initial symptom of pustulotic arthro-osteitis. Early diagnosis was made only after development inferior lumbar pain, some months later. At that time, the radiological investigations revealed the osteoarticular counterpart of pustulotic arthro-osteitis.
