We report the radiological and clinical features of SAPHO syndrome. Case 1 was a 51-year-old woman who had been suffering from palmoplantar pustulosis and painful osteitis of the left clavicle and lumbar spine for one year. Initial MRI T2 weighted images of the lumbar spine showed high intensity, and a later MRI showed low intensity. Bone biopsy showed nonspecific inflammatory infiltration with lymphocytes and plasma cells. Case 2 was a 48-year-old man suffering from palmoplantar pustulosis and right hip pain since he was 27 years old. Roentgenograph showed osteolytic lesion on the iliac side of the right sacroiliac joint. MRI showed low intensity on T1 weighted images and high intensity on T2 weighted images. An open biopsy showed no evidence of malignancy or microorganisms. They were diagnosed as SAPHO syndrome, and treated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
