Abstract
Purpose: Demonstrate the possible manifestations of SAPHO syndrome.
Material and methods: 38-year-old woman with suspected SAPHO syndrome were performed scintigraphy and SPECT/CT for evaluate the localization and abundance of the process.
Results: Osteosclerosis and hyperostosis of the left clavicle, osteosclerosis of the L1 vertebra and other, less pronounced changes, accompanied by active accumulation of the 99mTc-MDP, were revealed.
Conclusion: It is important to remember the specific complex of symptoms of this nosological entity and the possible isolated onset of individual manifestations, which was also observed in our case.
Keywords: SAPHO syndrome, SPECT/CT, bone scan
