In a 68-year-old man who had polyarthritis associated with gastric carcinoma surgical resection of the tumour was accompanied by prompt resolution of the arthritic syndrome. In 11 years of follow-up the arthritis has remained in complete remission and there has been no recurrence of the carcinoma. An awareness that polyarthritis may be a presenting manifestation of an underlying carcinoma may, especially in an elderly person, lead to early recognition and treatment of the malignant disease.
一名68岁男性患有与胃癌相关的多关节炎,肿瘤手术切除后关节炎综合征迅速缓解。在11年的随访中,关节炎一直完全缓解,且癌症未复发。认识到多关节炎可能是潜在癌症的一种表现形式,尤其对于老年人而言,可能会促使对恶性疾病的早期识别和治疗。
