Abstract
We describe 3 patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus who presented with hand pain and swollen joints. All 3 had radiographic changes in the affected joints typical of those associated with hemochromatosis. None of these patients had hemochromatosis. This is the first description of hemochromatosis-like arthropathy in diabetes mellitus without hemochromatosis.
