| Title | SAPHO syndrome in an adult with ulcerative colitis responsive to intravenous pamidronate: a case report and review of the literature. | | Author(s) | Siau K, Laversuch CJ | | Institution | Department of Rheumatology, Musgrove Park Hospital, Taunton, TA1 5DA, UK, keith@siau.org. | | Source | Rheumatol Int 2009 Jun 24. | | Abstract | Synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, osteitis (SAPHO) syndrome is a rare group of sterile, inflammatory osteoarticular disorders classically associated with skin lesions. It is occasionally associated with enteropathic disease such as ulcerative colitis. We present a 39-year-old patient with chronic ulcerative colitis who developed enteropathic SAPHO and responded well to pamidronate. We discuss the clinicopathological features with particular attention to bone pathology, and perform a literature review of this fascinating syndrome. | | Language | ENG | | Pub Type(s) | JOURNAL ARTICLE
