Fibromyalgia as a confounding factor in rheumatologic diseases
Abstract
Fibromyalgia (FM) is one of the main causes of chronic diffuse musculoskeletal pain accompanied by fatigue, cognitive impairment, psychiatric symptoms and multiple somatic symptoms. FM may be commonly associated with rheumatic diseases but may sometimes lead to misdiagnosis by mimicking rheumatic diseases. A careful history and detailed physical examination are required for the diagnosis of FM, there is nonspecific laboratory test or radiological imaging method for the diagnosis of the disease. In this paper, we want to draw attention to FM by presenting a case of FM accompanied by diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) and undifferentiated connective tissue disease (UTCD), which had difficulties in diagnosis and treatment
