RESUMEN
AIM: This study reports the bilateral association of Peters' anomaly and congenital aniridia in monozygotic twins subsequently diagnosed with Wilms tumour (WAGR syndrome). METHODS: Two monozygotic female twins were referred at age 2 months with bilateral corneal opacity. A diagnosis of Peters' anomaly associated to aniridia was made in both eyes of both twins. Physical examination and ultrasonography were carried out at 12 months of age to explore the possibility of WAGR-related anomalies, specifically Wilms tumour. DNA were isolated and subjected to whole exome sequencing. RESULTS: Peters' anomaly associated to aniridia in both eyes as well as bilateral Wilms tumour in both children were diagnosed. Exome analyses showed a large heterozygous deletion encompassing 6 648 473 bp in chromosome 11p13, using Integrative Genomics Viewer and AnnotSV software. CONCLUSION: WAGR syndrome is a rare contiguous gene deletion syndrome with a greater risk of developing Wilms tumour associated with Peters' anomaly and congenital aniridia. However, co-occurrence of both anomalies was rarely reported in twins, and never in both eyes of monozygotic twins. Here, we report the bilateral association of Peters' anomaly and congenital aniridia in monozygotic twins with WAGR syndrome.

Amyloidosis is a generic term that refers to the deposition of amyloid fibrils in bodily tissues. Its onset is usually after 40 years of age, with localized or systemic involvement associated with multiple myeloma or chronic inflammatory diseases, and can mimic various rheumatic syndromes. We report the case of a patient with amyloidosis associated with multiple myeloma, showing clinical characteristics of pseudomyopathy.

Amiloidose é uma designação genérica para se referir à deposição de fibrilas amiloides nos tecidos corporais. Ela apresenta-se, frequentemente, após os 40 anos de idade, com envolvimento localizado ou sistêmico, associada a mieloma múltiplo ou a doenças inflamatórias crônicas, podendo mimetizar diferentes síndromes reumatológicas. Relata-se o caso de uma paciente com amiloidose associada a mieloma múltiplo cuja apresentação inicial simulava miopatia.
