Abstract
Primary amyloidosis is a systemic disease. Amyloid arthropathy is an invalidating and uncommon form of presentation, but tenosynovitis is even rarer as the first sign of the disease. We report herein a case of unilateral amyloid deposit in the synovium of the extensor tendons of the hand, which was the first manifestation of a primary amyloidosis.
