Abstract
Polymyalgia rheumatica is a rare disorder with no known cause. It usually poses a diagnostic challenge but should be considered in a patient with fatigue and chronic pains and non-specific elevated C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) inflammatory tests. We present a 44-year-old man who came with fever, fatigue, early morning pains at the shoulder and neck, weight loss and anemia. Laboratory tests indicated an inflammatory process and a histologic diagnosis of inflammatory focal colitis. He was managed with prednisone with marked improvement. This case shows that a diagnosis of inflammatory focal colitis associated with polymyalgia rheumatica poses a diagnostic challenge and can easily be missed.
