Abstract

Glycogen storage diseases (GSDs) are a group of congenital inherited metabolic diseases. They may present the symptoms of muscle and joint which may be misdiagnosed with some rheumatic diseases. We report three cases of GSDs in order to have a more clear recognition of the disease and to discuss the differential diagnosis.
