We describe the case of a woman with the classic combination of features of synovitis‐acne‐pustulosis‐hyperostosis‐osteitis (SAPHO) syndrome, including pustulosis palmo‐plantaris and anterior chest wall involvement. The varying symptomology, etiology and pathogenesis of this syndrome and the contribution of stress are discussed. The authors ascribe the dearth of reported cases to lack of awareness and recognition of SAPHO, and not to the real incidence of the syndrome.
