Abstract
Amyloidosis is a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by extracellular deposition of fibrillar protein. Secondary amyloidosis occurs in patients with chronic infectious or inflammatory processes and tumours. AA can be isolated from secondary amyloidosis. It has been only rarely associated with psoriasis; this association may be fatal, because of renal involvement. We report a case of secondary amyloidosis associated with psoriatic arthopathy in a young woman. She received therapy with the antitumour necrosis factor alpha monoclonal antibody infliximab with improvement of her skin lesions.
