title: Stress in a case of SAPHO syndrome.
abstract: In this article, we describe a case of seemingly stress-induced SAPHO (synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, osteitis) syndrome in a man who exhibited the central features of palmoplantar psoriasis and anterior chest involvement. We also review the etiology, pathogenesis, and treatment of SAPHO syndrome and emphasize the important differences between this syndrome and psoriatic arthritis.
