Palmoplantar pustulosis and pustulotic arthro-osteitis associated with multiple venous occlusion: A case report and literature review

Emi Inoue et al. J Dermatol. 2023 Aug.

Abstract

Pustulotic arthro-osteitis (PAO) is a rare chronic inflammatory arthropathy associated with palmoplantar pustulosis. The pathogenesis of PAO remains unclear. The most common musculoskeletal involvement in PAO is ossification of the sternoclavicular joints. A combination of parietal inflammation and hyperostosis-induced mechanical compression in this region is hypothesized to contribute to multiple venous thrombosis. Here, we present a 66-year-old man with PAO-associated multiple venous occlusion who was successfully treated with guselkumab. We also discuss its clinical manifestation and cause by reviewing the literature.

Keywords: case report; palmoplantar pustulosis; pustulotic arthro-osteitis; venous occlusion.
