Abstract. Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is an inflammatory rheumatic disease characterized by pain and stiffness in the neck, shoulders, and/or pelvic girdle.It primarily affects adults 50 years or older with an incidence of 100 per 100,000 and a peak onset in the seventh decade of life.Prevalence of PMR is reported to be highest among whites, people of northern European descent, and women.MR possesses several distinct characteristics; however, symptoms may be similar to other autoimmune, infectious, endocrine, and malignant disorders. It is closely related to giant cell arteritis (GCA), also referred to as temporal arteritis, which is a chronic vasculitis of large and medium-size arteries.
