Multiple Skeletal Involvement of Multiple Myeloma Associated Amyloidosis Presented with Pathologic Fracture / 대한정형외과학회잡지

ABSTRACT

Amyloidosis, which refers to amyloid deposits accumulated in various organs, belongs to the same category as multiple myeloma; it can be accompanied by pathologic fracture. It is important to find out the exact cause of amyloidosis in order to decide treatment options and to predict prognosis. The authors described an amyloidosis case with multiple musculoskeletal involvements presented with pathologic fracture and arthrosis, and also reviewed the related articles.
