| Core Tip |
Hypophosphatasia is a rare metabolic bone disease that is susceptible to misdiagnosis as fibromyalgia due to overlapping symptoms such as chronic pain, fatigue, and weakness. This editorial highlights how overlooked low alkaline phosphatase levels and gender bias in pain assessment contribute to diagnostic delays. Greater recognition of hypophosphatasia may help reduce psychiatric harm associated with misdiagnosis. |
