We describe four cases of pustulotic arthro-osteitis. All of them suffered from anterior chest wall symptoms, such as swelling and pain on the sternoclavicular joint, sternal angle area, sternocostal joint, and costochondral junction. Although chest X-ray findings were all normal, 99mTc-scintigraphy revealed increased uptake in the affected areas in all cases. Laboratory examinations including rheumatoid factor were negative or normal except for elevation of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein in 2 cases. After treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and etretinate or topical PUVA, the skin lesions on the palms and soles and the arthro-osteitis were moderately improved. Pustulotic arthro-osteitis should be considered when a patient with pustulosis palmoplantaris complains of anterior chest wall pain and other joint pain.
