A case of inflammatory pseudotumor of the lung presenting as polymyalgia rheumatica

Abstract

Abstract A common inflammatory condition, the investigation and diagnosis of polymyalgia rheumatica should be within the scope of a general physician's repertoire. While there is limited evidence to confirm the existence of polymyalgia rheumatica as a distinct paraneoplastic syndrome (Reumatismo. 2018;70(1):23), a broadened differential should be utilized prior to diagnosis of this disease.
