Abstract
Polymyalgia rheumatica is the most common inflammatory rheumatic disease in elderly people, usually develops in patients older than 50 years, more frequently in females. An emerging imaging tool in the diagnostic workup of this condition is whole-body PET/CT, which allows an overall assessment of the articular and extra-articular structures involved.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
