Both diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis and ankylosing spondylitis present with similar clinical manifestations of restricted spinal mobility and postural abnormalities, and radiographic resemblances including axial spine involvement and enthesopathy. Nonetheless, they are two entirely different diseases. We report an unusual case of DISH in a young woman whose diagnosis was established based on radiologic features. This case report aims to highlight the under-recognised radiologic aspects of the differential diagnosis between DISH and AS in order to avoid an inaccurate diagnosis.

Ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic inflammatory bone disease that commonly affects the spine and the sacroiliac joints. Ankylosing spondylitis can also cause enthesitis, or enthesopathy, which is an inflammation at the tendinous or ligamentous insertion sites on the bones. In this study, we present the case of a 37-year-old man with ankylosing spondylitis with a unique Tc-HDP bone scan finding of symmetrical increased uptake bilaterally in the greater trochanters.
