Many markers are used for clinical diagnosis in rheumatic diseases; rheumatoid factor (RF) is the most frequently used marker. However, RF is not specific to rheumatoid arthritis (RA). RF positivity is widely observed in patients with advanced age, infectious, autoimmune, and lymphoproliferative diseases.

To explore the relationship of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and subsequent glaucoma incidence. Patients with SLE were defined as those newly diagnosed by International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) code 710.0 in at least 3 outpatient visits or 1 hospitalization during 2000–2012 by using the National Health Insurance Research Database.

Restless leg syndrome (RLS) is a neurological disorder characterized by an uncontrollable desire to move legs along with abnormal sensations, particularly at night, which can lead to sleep disturbance. RLS may mimic rheumatic diseases or can be associated with them, hence their identification and treatment are important to improve sleep quality and overall quality of life in rheumatic diseases.

Coexistence of the skin manifestations of systemic sclerosis and psoriasis is rare. The link between systemic sclerosis and psoriasis has been poorly investigated. We report a case of a 70-year-old woman, who was diagnosed with diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis and psoriasis vulgaris and was treated with oral azathioprine (50 mg/d) and prednisolone (10 mg/d), topical corticosteroids, and calcipotriols.

Anti-MDA5 antibody dermatomyositis (DM) is a special type of myositis, which can potentially cause rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (RP-ILD). Mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) is a complex disease with different characteristics of autoimmune connective tissue disease, associated with ILD.

Primary pachydermoperiostosis is a rare genetic disease affecting the skin and musculoskeletal system. In contrast to secondary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy, primary pachydermoperiostosis is considered a benign condition. While a variety of associated abnormalities have been described in this form, any association with tumors was previously reported in the literature. We hereby describe the first case of a 20-year-old man with primary pachydermoperiostosis revealed by a knee synovial tumor.
