Abstract

Back pain is one of the most common reasons for outpatient visits but is rarely severe enough to require hospitalization. Synovitis-acne-pustulosis-hyperostosis-osteitis (SAPHO) syndrome, a chronic inflammatory disorder is one of the rare causes of back pain which occurs in combination with skin symptoms. Here, we present a case of SAPHO syndrome in a 39-year-old man who presented with osteoarticular and dermatologic manifestations.
