ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT We report a case of amyloid arthropathy and pseudomyopathy with multiple myeloma, detected by amyloid PET/CT using 18F-florapronol. Bone scintigraphy and 18F-FDG PET/CT in a multiple myeloma patient revealed uneven soft tissue uptakes, especially at periarticular areas. The joint capsule and intermuscular fascia showed enhancement on CT, whereas muscle enzymes were normal. These suggested amyloid arthropathy with pseudomyopathy. 18F-Florapronol amyloid PET/CT showed extensive soft tissue uptakes. Amyloid arthropathy and pseudomyopathy were confirmed after biopsy. This is the first report of amyloid PET/CT aiding in the diagnosis of unusual presentation of systemic amyloidosis.
