ABSTRACT
Paraneoplastic cancer polyarthritis is a very rare manifestation of musculoskeletal disorders associated with several solid and hematologic malignancies. We describe a 71-year-old woman who presented initially with an abrupt onset of rheumatoid arthritis-like symmetrical polyarthritis. The patient was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer with multiple hepatic metastases approximately six months later. Her symptoms of polyarthritis improved after the introduction of medication including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs. This case suggests that a hidden malignancy should always be considered in elderly patients, who present with an abrupt onset of symmetric polyarthritis for the first time in their life.
