Palmoplantar pustulosis may be associated with peculiar bone and joint conditions. Initially restricted to the anterior chest wall, these conditions were later found to involve peripheral bones and joints. The same aseptic pseudoinfectious bone and joint lesions were also found associated with severe acne. In 1987, Kahn et al suggested this acronym to describe a number of reports of peculiar bone, joint, and skin lesions published over the last 25 years. SAPHO sydrome stands for synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, and osteitis syndrome. We report one case of SAPHO syndrome: A 27-year-old female presented left clavicular and right sacroiliac joint pain with hyperostosis and pustulosis palmaris.
