Secondary amyloidosis is associated with a variety of chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, familial Mediterranean fever, osteomyelitis, inflammatory bowel diseases and infective or neoplastic conditions. Few cases of secondary amyloidosis complicating psoriasis have been reported. We describe a 58-year-old patient with secondary amyloidosis, psoriasis, an associated symbrachydactyly of the hand and a transverse deficiency of the foot. To the best of our knowledge, no case of this association has been previously reported.
