| Core Tip |
Fibroblastic rheumatism is a rare fibroproliferative disease with unknown etiology characterized by onset of rapidly progressive and destructive symmetrical inflammatory multiple arthritis. We report a rare case of a 50-year-old female presented with symmetric inflammatory polyarthriti. We found that a complete medical history, histopathology, and immunohistochemistry combined with clinical manifestations of skin nodules, arthralgia, and arthritis are the keys to a successful diagnosis of this disease. In terms of treatment, our patient was similarly treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroids, methotrexate, and tacrolimus, but the symptoms did not resolve and the joint destruction continued to develop. All in all, early diagnosis and aggressive and correct use of steroids and immunosuppressants are essential to prevent potentially harmful joint destruction and limb contracture. Meanwhile, further research is needed to determine effective treatment strategies. |
