Tenosynovitis, a rare initial sign of primary amyloidosis, can manifest unilaterally in hand extensor tendons. This case highlights an uncommon presentation of this systemic disease.

Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Systemic Diseases
  • Medical Case Reports

Background:

  • Primary amyloidosis is a systemic condition with diverse clinical presentations.
  • Amyloid arthropathy is an uncommon manifestation.
  • Tenosynovitis as an initial sign is exceptionally rare.

Observation:

  • A case of unilateral amyloid deposit in the synovium of hand extensor tendons is presented.
  • This tenosynovitis was the presenting symptom.
  • The patient was diagnosed with primary amyloidosis.

Findings:

  • The study reports a rare case of primary amyloidosis presenting solely as unilateral tenosynovitis.
  • Amyloid deposition was localized to the synovium of extensor tendons in the hand.
  • This finding emphasizes the varied and sometimes subtle initial manifestations of systemic amyloidosis.

Implications:

  • Recognizing tenosynovitis as a potential early indicator of primary amyloidosis is crucial for timely diagnosis.
  • This case expands the spectrum of recognized initial presentations for systemic amyloidosis.
  • Early diagnosis of primary amyloidosis can lead to prompt management and potentially improve patient outcomes.
