Abstract

Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) immune-related adverse events (ICI-PMRs) represent a novel, distinct entity, despite many clinical, laboratory, and imaging similarities to classical PMR. Important questions remain in differentiating ICI-PMR from classical PMR, as well as other immune-related adverse events and PMR mimics. Despite this, ICI-PMR currently takes treatment cues from classical PMR, albeit with considerations relevant to cancer immunotherapy. Comparisons between ICI-PMR and classical PMR may provide further bidirectional insights, especially given that important questions remain unanswered about both diseases. The cause of classical PMR remains poorly understood, and ICI-PMR may represent a model of induced PMR, with important therapeutic implications.
