Sumario:This case highlights a 77-year-old woman with polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) following coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination without shoulder pain and its characteristic positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) findings. Some cases of PMR following COVID-19 vaccination have been reported. However, patients without shoulder pain or PET-CT findings without uptake at the shoulders are not described. Our case suggests that PMR should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with neck pain following COVID-19 vaccination, even if they lack shoulder pain.
