Gallium-67 scintigraphic findings of patients with polymyalgia rheumatica (P), pseudogout A), remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema (RS3PE) syndrome B), and post-infectious polyarthritis C). A-C corresponds to case A-C in Table 1, respectively. Arrows indicate a gallium uptake. Dotted arrows indicate a gallium uptake in metacarpophalangeal joints in a patient in RS3PE syndrome.

Symmetrical gallium uptake in shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees, and ankles in a gallium-67 scintigraphy (Figure 1C) and elevated serum MMP-3 and VEGF levels (Table 1) suggested the presence of PMR.
The radiographs of the patient with pseudogout demonstrated chondrocalcinosis (arrows) on the wrist A), knee B), and hip C).
