This document presents two case studies of patients seen in rheumatology clinics with various musculoskeletal and gastrointestinal symptoms. Case 1 is a 54-year-old woman with back, hip and ankle pain who is found to have spondyloarthritis likely related to inflammatory bowel disease. Case 2 is a 29-year-old woman with neck stiffness, back pain, and diarrhea who is diagnosed with spondyloarthritis related to psoriasis or inflammatory bowel disease. Both patients undergo testing including imaging and are treated with medications.

This is a case report of a 69-year-old male who presented with chronic constipation, rectal pain. Laboratory reports revealed microcytic hypochromic anemia with iron deficiency. A colonoscopy showed the presence of an anal stricture with non-specific colitis. The patient was conservatively managed and sent to a hematologist for management of his anemia. After starting the patient on intravenous (IV) iron infusion, the patient’s symptoms resolved within 3 months.
Adult-onset Still's disease is a form of rheumatoid arthritis that was characterized by Bywaters in 1971. Its main feature is a combination of symptoms such as high fever, cutaneous rash during fever peaks, joint and muscle pain, lymph node enlargement, increased white cell count especially polymorphonuclear neutrophils and abnormalities of liver metabolism. None of these symptoms is sufficient to establish the diagnosis and infact may be present in several other diseases such as neoplastic and infectious diseases. Thus AOSD is a “diagnosis of exclusion”.
