[The fasciitis-polyarthritis syndrome].
A 56 years old woman showed polyarthritis with thickness and retraction of the palmar fascia: 5 months later an undifferentiated ovarian carcinoma was diagnosed. Symptoms improved when antineoplastic chemotherapy was started. This has been called fasciitis-polyarthritis syndrome. Cases published on the scientific literature are reviewed, discussion their etiopathology and the possibility of establishing an early diagnosis of neoplasia through the finding of this association.
