Abstract

UNLABELLED: A FREQUENT AFFECTION: Ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic inflammatory rheumatism usually affecting young adults and characterized by an inflammatory enthesiopathy progressing towards ossification and ankylosis. It is ranked in second position of chronic inflammatory rheumatism, after rheumatoid arthritis. IMPROVING ITS EVOLUTION: Early diagnosis and adapted therapy would contribute in improving its prognosis and avoid the evolution to severe forms of the disease. RECENT PROGRESS: The recent advances in this disease are the enhanced knowledge of its physiopathology and the development of efficient drugs (anti-TNFalpha).

[A pregnant woman with a SAPHO syndrome].

The association SAPHO syndrome (Synovitis, Acne, Pustulosis, Hyperostosis, Osteitis) and pregnancy is very rare. Only one case is indexed in the literature. We report the case of a pregnancy in a 27-year-old patient with a SAPHO syndrome and we expose its history and its obstetrical, medical and anaesthetic following. Under this multi-field following, there was no evolutionary push of the disease neither during the pregnancy, nor in immediate postpartum. We will expose the different possible treatments during the pregnancy.

Pulmonary adenocarcinoma associated with SAPHO syndrome difficult to differentiate from multiple bone metastasis.

The patient was a 57-year-old man with a chief complaint of anterior chest pain who was diagnosed with clinical stage IV (c-T2N2M1) non-small-cell lung cancer (adenocarcinoma). Tenderness in the sternoclavicular joint, acne, periodontitis, and palmoplantar pustulosis were evident, and SAPHO syndrome was diagnosed. SAPHO syndrome is a rare disorder that results in synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, and osteomyelitis. Bone scintigraphy showed tracer accumulation in the costal cartilage, sternoclavicular joint, and cervical vertebrae 6-7. Although the bone lesions of SAPHO syndrome were difficult to differentiate from bone metastasis of pulmonary adenocarcinoma, metastatic bone tumors were ruled out by magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, and fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography. There have been no previously reported cases of lung cancer with comorbid SAPHO syndrome. We report such a case and discuss the relevant literature, particularly that concerned with the evaluation of bone lesions.
