description Aim SAPHO (synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis and osteitis) syndrome is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by typical cutaneous lesions (palmoplantar pustulosis and eruptive acne) and osteoarticular symptoms (aseptic osteomyelitis and joint inflammation). This study aims to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and safety of Janus kinase 1 (JAK1) inhibitor abrocitinib in patients with SAPHO syndrome.Methods We presented a patient with SAPHO syndrome with accelerated disease progression who did not respond to traditional therapies. The patient was treated with oral abrocitinib at a dosage of 100 mg daily.Results After 3 months of treatment with abrocitinib, the patient exhibited considerable symptom improvement with no new facial lesions. The joint pain was completely relieved after abrocitinib administration for 15 months. No adverse events or recurrences were reported during the 18-month follow-up period.Conclusions Abrocitinib monotherapy may be a promising treatment option for patients with SAPHO syndrome.
