- Abstract
The article presents a case study on the diagnosis of palmar fasciitis and polyarthritis syndrome (PAPS) to a 75 year old woman in France. The general physical examination and the autoantibody screening were conducted to be able to determine the causes of the progressive painful swelling and stiffness of both hands. The detection of the ovarian epithelial carcinoma in the histological analysis has been associated to PAPS.
