Because muscle weakness and elevated creatine kinase level can occur in some patients with hypothyroidism, thyroid function tests should be examined in the differential diagnosis of polymyositis.

Abstract

In this article we report a case presenting with proximal muscle weakness and elevated serum muscle enzymes mimicking polymyositis. The lack of typical signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism led to an initial diagnosis of polymyositis. But electroneuromyography was normal and thyroid function tests revealed primary hypothyroidism. The diagnosis of hypothyroidism can be difficult in unusual presentations. Especially patients with musculoskleletal manifestations may present as a polymyositis-like syndrome. Because muscle weakness and elevated creatine kinase level can occur in some patients with hypothyroidism, thyroid function tests should be examined in the differential diagnosis of polymyositis.

Özet

Bu yazıda polimiyozite benzeyen proksimal kas güçsüzlüğü ve kas enzimlerinde yükseklik ile başvuran bir olgu sunuldu. Hastada hipotiroidinin tipik belirti ve bulguları olmaması nedeniyle polimiyozit düşünüldü. Ancak elektronromiyografi normal bulundu ve tiroid fonksiyon testleri sonucu primer hipotiroidi tanısı konuldu. Atipik prezantasyonlu olgularda hipotiroidi tanısı güç olabilir. Özellikle kas - iskelet sistemi bulguları olan hastalar polimiyozit-benzeri bir sendromla başvurabilirler. Hipotiroidide kas güçsüzlüğü ve serum kreatin kinaz düzeyi yüksekliği olabileceğinden, polimiyozitin ayırıcı tanısı sırasında tiroid fonksiyon testlerine bakılmalıdır.
