The presented case report concerns a 62-year-old male patient who was admitted to
the rheumatology department with a fever, shoulder and hip joint pain,
significant limitation of movement in these joints and general weakness.
Laboratory test revealed increase of inflammatory parameters, as ESR and
C-reactive protein, rheumatoid factor and ACPA antibodies were absent. In the
course of diagnostics, infections and cancer were excluded. The patient met the
classification criteria for polymyalgia rheumatica. Polymyalgia rheumatica is not
a rare disease, but the number of elderly people in the world continues to
increase, and we can assume that the prevalence of this disease will increase in
the coming years. At suspicion on polymyalgia rheumatica, it is necessary to
exclude other rheumatic diseases, infections and malignant neoplasms. The authors
also presented which diseases should be considered in the differential diagnosis.
