Abstract
The importance of searching for a malignancy in patients in whom rheumatic symptoms develop for the first time after the age of 60 years is emphasized. Case histories are presented to illustrate the disabling rheumatic symptoms that led the patients to seek medical aid. Treatment with estrogens alleviated the rheumatic symptoms in these patients, all of whom had carcinoma of the prostate gland.
