Polyarthritis can be an early sign of leukemia, a cancer of the blood. Prompt blood tests are crucial for diagnosing recent polyarthritis cases and ensuring timely leukemia treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Hematology
  • Rheumatology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Leukemia can present with osteoarticular manifestations in 4% of cases.
  • These joint symptoms often resolve completely following successful leukemia treatment and hematologic remission.

Observation:

  • This study presents two cases where polyarthritis preceded a leukemia diagnosis.
  • A 22-year-old woman experienced polyarthritis for 8 months before acute leukemia diagnosis.
  • A 34-year-old man developed acute polyarthritis one month prior to diagnosis of chronic myeloid leukemia.

Findings:

  • Polyarthritis is a potential presenting symptom for both acute and chronic leukemia.
  • The cases highlight the varied timelines between joint symptom onset and leukemia diagnosis.

Implications:

  • Clinicians should consider leukemia in the differential diagnosis of unexplained polyarthritis.
  • Systematic blood analysis is essential for differentiating leukemia-related polyarthritis from other causes.
