Abstract
Turner’s syndrome (TS) is characterized by short stature and gonadal dysgenesis. It is often
associated with systemic manifestations, such as cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and musculoskeletal
disorders. Although very rare, it is possible for TS to accompany autoimmune disease,
including thyroid disease, inflammatory bowel diseases, diabetes mellitus, psoriatic arthritis, and
juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. A 39-year-old woman was referred for symmetric polyarthritis of her
hands and feet. She had been diagnosed with Turner’s syndrome with 46,XO,-X,+fragment
before the age of 22 years and had developed autoimmune hypothyroidism treated with thyroid
hormone replacement. At the time of first visit, she had polyarthralgia with morning stiffness for
more than 3 months. The musculoskeletal examination revealed symmetrical polyarthritis affecting
the metacarpophalangeal, proximal interphalangeal, and metatarsophalangeal joints, fulfilling
the ACR 1987 revised criteria for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Here, we present an unusual case
of RA associated with TS. It is important to pay meticulous attention to patients with TS so that
inflammatory arthritis is not neglected and the diagnosis is not delayed.
