Isotretinoin-induced skeletal hyperostosis
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a case of skeletal hyperostosis in a 29 year old man presenting with non-inflammatory back pain with a past history of isotretinoin therapy for acne. The development of skeletal hyperostosis, predominantly of the spine, has been reported in association with isotretinoin use and has a radiographic picture similar to diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis. The prevalence and severity of this condition appears to correlate with duration of therapy. Isotretinoin is a well-established treatment for severe acne. It is important for the rheumatologist be aware of this phenomenon when assessing young patients with musculoskeletal symptoms and evidence of radiological abnormalities.
