Case report describes a 57-year-old man with a long-term chronic psoriasis treated only with methotrexate in combination with non-steroidal

anti-inflammatory drugs. In relatively short time psoriasis has transformed into psoriatic spondylitis and psoriatic arthropathy of

the fifth degree. This case shows how important it is to start proper treatment earlier before appears irreversible change in joints. Early

recognition of psoriatic arthritis by dermatologist and close cooperation with the rheumatologist may significantly affect the prognosis

and quality of life.
