Abstract
Aseptic abscess (AA) is a rare autoinflammatory disorder, characterized by the formation of sterile abscesses in various organs, and is accompanied by inflammatory bowel disease. Antibiotic treatment is ineffective, but steroid therapy shows a good response. AA can be difficult to differentiate from infection because abscesses appear similar both radiologically and histopathologically. Herein, we present the case of a 56-year-old woman with AA in the anterior chest wall and synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, and osteitis (SAPHO) syndrome.
期刊介绍:
Skeletal Radiology provides a forum for the dissemination of current knowledge and information dealing with disorders of the musculoskeletal system including the spine. While emphasizing the radiological aspects of the many varied skeletal abnormalities, the journal also adopts an interdisciplinary approach, reflecting the membership of the International Skeletal Society. Thus, the anatomical, pathological, physiological, clinical, metabolic and epidemiological aspects of the many entities affecting the skeleton receive appropriate consideration.
This is the Journal of the International Skeletal Society and the Official Journal of the Society of Skeletal Radiology and the Australasian Musculoskelelal Imaging Group.
