Abstract
Hidradenitis suppurativa and acne conglobata are well-described chronic der matologic diseases. Although the exact incidence of these disorders is unkn own, both are relatively uncommon conditions. The incidence of spondyloarth ropathy is less than 1% in the general population. Therefore, a triad of hi dradenitis suppurativa, acne conglobata and spondyloarthropathy is a rare s yndrome described only in a few case reports in the literature. We report a case of hidradenitis suppurativa and acne conglobata associated with spond yloarthropathy.
