Abstract
|
|
|
|
Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is an uncommon disorder characterized by bilateral pain and stiffness in the should-er and pelvic girdles. Polymyalgia rheumatica and giant cell arteritis (GCA) occur in the same patient population and share a common pathogenesis. Giant cell arteritis pre-dominantly affects the cranial arteries and rarely involves the gastrointestinal tract. Moreover, giant cell arteritis has rarely been reported in Asians. Here, we present a case with 62-year-old Asian woman who developed polymyalgia rheumatica with localized vasculitis in the mesenteric arteries.
