ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

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.
