RESUMEN
Resumen El diagnóstico de enfermedad de Still del adulto requiere la exclusión de cuadros infecciosos, tumorales y autoinmunes. Sin embargo, un proceso neoplásico poco expresivo clínicamente y en las pruebas complementarias puede pasar desapercibido al diagnóstico o comenzar con posterioridad, habiéndose descrito numerosos casos de enfermedad de Still asociada a tumores. Presentamos el caso de una paciente de 84 años con diagnóstico previo de enfermedad de Still del adulto, que desarrolló un tumor gástrico de evolución fatal 2 años después del diagnóstico del cuadro reumatológico.
ABSTRACT
Abstract The diagnosis of Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) requires the exclusion of infectious, malignant, and autoimmune diseases. However, a poorly symptomatic neoplastic process can easily be overlooked, or even onset later during the course of the disease. Therefore, numerous cases of Adult-onset Still's disease associated with malignancy have been reported. The case is reported of an 84-year old woman with previous diagnosis of AOSD who developed a gastric tumour with fatal outcome 2 years after the diagnosis of her rheumatic disease.
