Abstract

SAPHO syndrome (Synovitis, Acne, Pustulosis, Hyperostosis and Osteitis) is a rare, heterogeneous, chronic autoinflammatory disease characterized by dermatological and osteoarticular clinical manifestations affecting multiple regions. Systemic manifestations are rare. We present the case of a middle-aged man with polyarthralgia and constitutional syndrome under study. He underwent diagnostic imaging tests that helped establish the differential diagnosis as SAPHO syndrome without skin involvement. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of SAPHO syndrome that debuted as a constitutional condition, and this syndrome should be considered in the diagnostic spectrum.
