Arthritis and hidradenitis suppurativa diagnosed in a 48-year-old man.

We report the case of a 48-year-old man who presented with an erosive, seronegative, HLA-B27-negative, peripheral polyarthritis, associated with hidradenitis suppurativa of axillae and buttocks. The pertinent literature is reviewed. This paper is the second devoted to this topic in a radiological journal and the first to document erosion of the posterior aspect of the calcaneus.
