Schnitzler's syndrome: 3-year radiological follow-up.
Schnitzler's syndrome comprises urticaria, monoclonal gammapathy, inflammatory signs (fever, enlarged lymph nodes, hyperleukocytosis), and bone lesions. We report the imaging findings and follow-up of a new case with extensive osteosclerosis of the iliac bone, associated with inflammatory signal changes on MRI and foci of increased uptake on bone scintigraphy. When a diagnosis of Schnitzler's syndrome is established, treatment should be towards symptoms only; a long follow-up is warranted, as a delayed evolution towards a lymphoproliferative syndrome is possible.
