SAPHO syndrome complicated with relapsing polychondritis: A case report
International journal of rheumatic diseases(2023)
Abstract
Synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, and osteitis (SAPHO) syndrome is a rare chronic inflammatory disease. The main clinical manifestation of SAPHO syndrome is an osteoarthropathy with cutaneous involvement. Relapsing polychondritis (RP) characterized by chronic inflammation and cartilage degeneration is a rare systematic autoimmune disease. Here we report a RP case in a SAPHO syndrome patient, in which auricularitis happened 10 years after the diagnosed as SAPHO syndrome. Tofacitinib treatment can alleviate the symptoms.
