In this case report, we highlight a rare case of palindromic rheumatism (PR) presenting as polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR). Many challenges and complexities are associated with diagnosing and treating PR. Literature reviews showed only a few case reports of this unique presentation. PR has a distinct presentation that often goes unnoticed and is misinterpreted by medical professionals. A more thorough clinical approach is required to identify and treat this condition. We hope sharing such uncommon cases will help the medical community better understand PR and develop improved diagnostic and therapeutic options. This case also demonstrates the need for further research to better understand the pathogenesis of this uncommon condition.
在本病例报告中,我们着重介绍了一例表现为风湿性多肌痛(PMR)的罕见回纹型风湿症(PR)病例。PR的诊断和治疗存在诸多挑战与复杂性。文献综述显示,关于这种独特表现的病例报告仅有少数几例。PR具有独特的临床表现,常常未被注意到,且被医学专业人员误解。需要更全面的临床方法来识别和治疗这种疾病。我们希望分享此类罕见病例将有助于医学界更好地了解PR,并开发出改进的诊断和治疗方案。该病例还表明需要进一步研究,以更好地理解这种罕见疾病的发病机制。
