Article Abstract
Synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, and osteitis (SAPHO) syndrome and chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) have been described as disorders of chronic osteoarthritic inflammation frequently associated with skin manifestations, and SAPHO and CRMO (SAPHO/CRMO) are rare autoinflammatory disorders of unknown etiology. SAPHO tends to occur in adults and CRMO predominantly occurs in children and adolescents. SAPHO/CRMO can affect any skeletal region (e.g., anterior chest wall, spine, or long bones). As SAPHO/CRMO are diagnoses of exclusion, the diagnoses might be difficult if skin manifestations are not clearly evident. However, knowledge of the imaging findings of skeletal disorders is helpful for correcting the diagnosis and avoiding unnecessary invasive procedures, as well as in facilitating early diagnosis and adequate treatment. This pictorial review describes the appearance of increased skeletal uptake for SAPHO/CRMO on bone scintigraphy along with findings from radiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging.

Congenital spine anomalies include a diverse range of structural abnormalities that, if left undiagnosed and untreated, may contribute to elevated perinatal mortality rates and significant long-term neurological complications. Their broad spectrum of imaging manifestations underscores the importance of recognizing characteristic features critical to timely and effective diagnosis and treatment. This pictorial essay reviews the key imaging findings associated with congenital spine anomalies, providing a concise and practical reference for early identification and management strategies.

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare but life-threatening condition characterized by excessive immune activation, resulting in severe systemic inflammation and multiorgan failure. This pictorial essay presents an overview of HLH imaging findings, accompanied by a discussion of pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment approaches. Imaging is crucial in diagnosing and monitoring HLH by identifying key features, such as splenomegaly, lymphadenopathy, and central nervous system (CNS) involvement.

Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) encompass a spectrum of inherited lysosomal storage disorders caused by deficiencies in enzymes required for glycosaminoglycan (GAG) degradation. These enzymatic deficits lead to GAG accumulation within lysosomes, resulting in progressive multiorgan damage, with skeletal abnormalities prominently affecting diagnostic imaging. Radiologists play a crucial role in identifying characteristic skeletal changes, including skull deformities like J-shaped sella turcica, cranial thickening, spinal abnormalities such as odontoid hypoplasia and kyphosis, and unique thoracic and pelvic malformations.

With the growing use of computed tomography (CT) scans, there has been a corresponding increase in detection of incidental adrenal lesions. For decades, tumor size has been associated with malignancy, however emerging research has suggested that the majority of large (> 4 cm) adrenal lesions are benign and do not require surgical resection. With CT being the gold-standard imaging modality for evaluating adrenal lesions, it is important to differentiate benign and malignant lesions on imaging to guide clinical management and avoid overtreatment.
