We report two cases, one 23 and one 27 year old man, with several years background of sternal and sternoclavicular joints pain, respectively. The laboratory tests were normal. Based on the clinical, radiologic and scintigraphic findings, SAPHO syndrome was diagnosed. Bone scintigraphy makes it possible to obtain a whole body scan in a single whole body scan, and can be used for differential diagnosis of other osteoarticular diseases and for evolutive control and therapeutic response.
