RESUMEN
Se presenta el caso de un hombre de 40 años con artropatía en la rodilla derecha y la columna lumbar secundaria a ocronosis confirmada. Esta enfermedad es infrecuente pero se la debe tener en cuenta en el diagnóstico diferencial en pacientes jóvenes con artropatía y compromiso espondiloarticular. Se revisan brevemente los aspectos histórico, bioquímico, clínico y terapéutico de la enfermedad.
ABSTRACT
We report the case of a male patient, aged 40 years, with knee and lumbar spine arthropathy secondary to confirmed ochronosis. Although this is an infrequent disease, it is necessary to take it into account in the differential diagnosis of articular lesions and spondyloarthropathy in young patients. Historic, biochemical, clinical and therapeutic aspects of the disease are briefly reviewed.
