Synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, and osteitis syndrome treated with a combination of isotretinoin and pamidronate. Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology [J Am Acad Dermatol] Journal article | | Title | Synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, and osteitis syndrome treated with a combination of isotretinoin and pamidronate. | | Author(s) | Galadari H, Bishop AG, Venna SS, Sultan E, Do D, Zeltser R | | Institution | Department of Dermatology, Boston University School of Medicine, Boston, MA, USA. | | Source | J Am Acad Dermatol 2009 Jul; 61(1):123-5. | | Abstract | Synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, and osteitis (SAPHO) syndrome is a clinically heterogeneous entity, encompassing a variety of debilitating conditions that have in common inflammation of the skeletal system and skin. To date, there is a paucity of documented efficacious treatment options. We report a 48-year-old man with skeletal and cutaneous signs and symptoms who improved dramatically after treatment with a combination of isotretinoin and pamidronate. This report provides an alternative treatment regimen for SAPHO that addresses the possible underlying pathophysiology of this likely underdiagnosed syndrome. | | Language | eng | | Pub Type(s) | Journal Article
