Clin Case Rep. 2022 Aug 3;10(8):e6120. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.6120. eCollection 2022 Aug.

Abstract

We report a case of osteolytic polyarthritis and atlanto-axial lesion revealing multiple myeloma-associated amyloid arthropathy in a 56-year-old man. Only histological exam of the salivary gland biopsy demonstrating the presence of amyloid deposits stained with congo red could confirm the diagnosis.

Keywords: amylois; arthropathy; biopsy; multiple myeloma; spine.
