Visualization of Dialysis-Related Amyloid Arthropathy on ¹⁸F-FDG PET-CT Scan

Abstract

We report a case of dialysis-related amyloid arthropathy in a patient with end-stage renal disease. It presented in our patient as moderately increased FDG uptake in the amyloid deposition in the periarticular tissues and eroding into adjacent bones.
