Two major manifestations that co-occur in a single patient are rare.Methods/Results: This literature describes a 44-year-old male affected by SAPHO syndrome, whose first manifestation was palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP). Symptomatic treatments such as anti-inflammatory and analgesics did not work well for him. Adalimumab provided noteworthy improvement in the neck and thoracic back pain improvement after two weeks. The palmoplantar pustules were alleviated after four weeks.Conclusion: The literature on SAPHO syndrome therapy is increasing. Thus, adalimumab is a novel therapeutic agent. This report demonstrates the efficiency of adalimumab in SAPHO syndrome.Keywords: synovitis, acne, psoriasis, bone hypertrophy, osteitis, psoriasis arthritis, adalimumab
