title: Scintigraphic evaluation of chronic osteomyelitis of the mandible in SAPHO syndrome.
abstract: A patient with SAPHO syndrome (synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis and osteitis) was evaluated by combined scintigraphy. (99m)Tc HMDP scintigraphy showed accumulation in the sternum and lumbar vertebrae as well as the right mandible, whereas (67)Ga citrate showed an accumulation in the right mandible, but not in the sternum or lumbar vertebrae. These results are consistent with chronic osteomyelitis in the mandible.
