Case report 610: Amyloid arthropathy of the left ankle

Abstract

In summary, a case of amyloid arthropathy of the left ankle in a 64-year-old patient with multiple myeloma is presented. The asymmetric presentation and site of deposition in the ankle were taken to be unusual. Involvement of both hips and the right shoulder was also suspected on subsequent evaluation. The patient's history and MR studies were essential in establishing the preoperative diagnosis. The extent of involvement, destruction of underlying cartilage, associated effusion and tenosynovitis were optimally defined by the MR images. The MR images also provided preoperative guidance in determining the approach and optimum site of biopsy.
