    Summary

    Hypothyroidism frequently presents with "myxoedematous pseudorheumatism," including joint pain and muscle weakness, often alongside polyarthrosis. Hyperthyroidism may show minor upper extremity joint and tissue symptoms.

    Area of Science:

    • Rheumatology and Endocrinology
    • Investigates the intersection of endocrine disorders and rheumatic conditions.

    Context:

    • Thyroid dysfunction, including hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, can manifest with musculoskeletal symptoms.
    • Understanding these manifestations is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.

    Purpose:

    • To examine the prevalence and characteristics of para- or pseudorheumatic symptomatology in patients with hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.
    • To compare these findings with age- and sex-matched control groups.
    • To identify potential associations between thyroid disorders and rheumatic conditions.

    Summary:

    • Hypothyroidism (25 patients) frequently exhibited 'myxoedematous pseudorheumatism,' characterized by polyarthralgias, myalgias, muscle weakness, and digital swelling, often co-occurring with polyarthrosis.
    • Associated conditions included cervicobrachial syndrome, humeroscapular periarthritis, tendinous calcifications, gout, and carpal tunnel syndrome, posing diagnostic challenges.
    • Hyperthyroidism (100 patients) presented with less severe joint and upper extremity tissue symptoms.

    Impact:

    • Highlights the significant rheumatologic impact of hypothyroidism, emphasizing 'myxoedematous pseudorheumatism' as a distinct clinical entity.
    • Underscores the importance of considering thyroid dysfunction in patients presenting with unexplained rheumatic symptoms.
    • Aids in differential diagnosis by differentiating thyroid-related musculoskeletal issues from primary rheumatic diseases.
