Abstract
We report a case of dialysis-related amyloid arthropathy in a patient with end-stage renal disease. It presented in our patient as moderately increased FDG uptake in the amyloid deposition in the periarticular tissues and eroding into adjacent bones.

Dialysis-related amyloidosis (DRA) is characterized by the amyloid deposition with β2-microglobulin in the osteoarticular structure and viscera
Because the clinical manifestations of amyloid arthropathy can be confused with other polyarticular forms of arthritis such as rheumatoid arthritis, we should consider this diagnosis, in patients with multiple myeloma or other predisposing conditions
