RESUMO
A hemocromatose pode se manifestar como osteoartrite de inicio precoce e que afeta, de maneira atipica, as articulações metacarpofalangianas. Seu reconhecimento pode permitir o diagnóstico precoce e tratamento de uma doença potencialmente fatal. Descrevem-se aqui dois casos de hemocromatose com manifestações articulares.
