The probability of one patient has ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is low. It is usually difficult to diagnose the association, indeed we require a careful diagnostic process and more tests are needed. A 21-year-old female patient with coexisting AS and RA was reported here. 9 months later, she developed peripheral polyarthritis, erosion changes on the radiography of Metatarso-phalangeal (MTP), rheumatoid factor and cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody (anti-CCP) were positives. Here, we describe the diagnostic process that we followed.
