It is unusual for the smaller joints in the fingers, wrists and ankles to be involved. We have, however, observed two cases in which these joints, as well as the larger joints, were markedly affected. The disease appeared to be typical rheumatoid arthritis. It was not until later in the course, when features more characteristic of multiple myeloma developed, that the true underlying disease was diagnosed. Magnus-Levy1emphasized the occurrence of arthritis in multiple myeloma. He showed that the joints involved had deposits of amyloid about...Bibliography1. Magnus-Levy A: Multiple myeloma, Acta med.
