Polymyalgia rheumatica, giant cell arteritis and myelodysplastic syndrome
Keywords:
polymyalgia rheumatica, giant cell arteritis, myelodysplastic syndromes, immunologyAbstract
The authors reporta case of a 76 year old mate patient, with a previous diagnosis of polymyalgia rheumatica, admitted because of fever. After investigation a giant cell artritis and a myelodysplastic syndrome (refractory anemia with excess blasts), were diagnosed.
This association has been recently described by some authors. The physiopathology of these conditions suggest that there is a significant rather than a chance association.
