Abstract
Diffuse sclerosing osteomyelitis may indicate the mandibular localisation o f the SAPHO syndrome. Twelve patients with diffuse sclerosis of the mandibl e were examined for symptoms of the SAPHO syndrome. Mne patients were found to have primary chronic osteomyelitis and eight of these represented a SAP HO syndrome. Results in this series support the hypothesis of an associatio n between primary chronic osteomyelitis and the SAPHO syndrome.
