Abstract

Enthesitis occurs commonly in patients with seronegative spondyloarthropathies. The patella is frequently affected by enthesopathy, but overgrowth has not been reported as a manifestation of enthesitis in pediatrics. We describe 3 patients with seronegative enthesopathy and arthropathy syndrome and patellar overgrowth.
