“…This has been previously pointed out by Verhoeff and King (1938) in their discussion of rheumatoid scleromalacia perforans. That joint involvement can occur as the result of a metabolic disease is seen not only in gout, and in Graham's case of " lipoid gout " cited above, but in paraamyloidosis with or without multiple myelomatosis, where subcutaneous ulnar nodules may also be found (Tarr and Ferris, 1939). Case 1 was, in fact, thought for a long time to be and was treated as, one of gout.…”

“…Deposit of amyloid material can be found in the synovium, producing enlarged and painful joints, and also in the paraarticular tissues, giving rise to a carpal tunnel syndrome (3). A polyarticular form has also been described which clinically resembles rheumatoid arthritis (3)(4), including swelling and involvement of the small joints of the hands. This polyarthritis frequently precedes any overt manifestation of myeloma, but it may develop later in the course of the disease .…”

This is the first report of a patient with hemarthrosis due to invasion of the synovial membrane by myeloma cells. With angiographic studies of the affected joint it was apparent that the tumor tissue extended from the destructive bone lesion of the femoral condyle into the synovial membrane. Intraarticular spontaneous bleeding was the first manifestation of a monoclonal IgG multiple myeloma; the hemarthrosis recurred after drainage but was controlled with local roentgen therapy.Multiple myeloma is a malignant disease of plasma cells; even though the skeletal system is the seat of early and common clinical manifestations, the joints do not usually become involved with this pathologic process. Amyloid arthritis is the recognized type of joint disease in these patients (1-2).

“…A less common but well-recognized presentation is a polyarthritis, which superficially resembles rheumatoid arthritis and is usually treated as such in the first instance. 24 cases of this type have now been reported in the literature; among the most important reports are those of Magnus-Levy (1938), Stewart and Weber (1938), Tarr and Ferris (1939), and Davis, Weber, and Bartfeld (1957). Such a patient is middle-aged and develops an arthritis which may or may not be painful.…”
