FONSECA MUNOZ, Rocío Beatriz; GONZALEZ-COSTA, Maricarmen  e  PADRON GONZALEZ, Alexander Ariel. Polymyosis-Sclerosis Overlap Syndrome. Case report and review of literature. Rev Cuba Reumatol [online]. 2019, vol.21, suppl.1  Epub 01-Dez-2019. ISSN 1817-5996.

Introduction:

In the syndrome of overlap or overlap there are simultaneously clinical or serological manifestations of two or more systemic autoimmune diseases. They affect 5% of the population with predominance in women.

Case Presentation:

A 48-year-old man with no personal pathological history. He came with pain in both hands, inflammation in the metacarpal and interphalangeal proximal joints, bilateral and symmetrical, accompanied by morning stiffness that lasted almost all day for 4 months. He was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and started treatment that he abandoned. Then a picture appears that is interpreted as an overlap so it is entered with a florid clinical picture. In laboratory tests: transaminases, creatine phosphokinase, lactate dehydrogenase, were elevated. Clinical and complementary diagnosis of Polymyosis-Sclerosis Overlap Syndrome was diagnosed. Treatment with immunosupers was started. The patient evolved unfavorably and died.

Discussion:

The diagnosis of this case was made by clinical manifestations such as sclerodermic fascia, salt and pepper sign, predominantly distal fibrosis in both hands, perioral telangiectasias. Differential diagnoses are systemic autoimmune diseases when presented as single frames. First-line treatment and prognosis depend on overlapping diseases.
