Abstract
Two patients with idiopathic hemochromatosis and a distinctive arthropathy are presented. The joint findings are characterized by joint narrowing, prominent osteophytes, subchondral sclerosis and multiple lucent subchondral cysts, and chondrocalcinosis. The etiology of this arthropathy and its relationship to chondrocalcinosis are discussed. Occasionally, patients may present with this arthropathy before the onset of the classical signs of idiopathic hemochromatosis.Keywords
