An unusual case of familial Mediterranean fever and vasculitis in which the
patient developed amyloidosis and had protracted arthritis persisting for
years is presented. The long-standing arthritis did not respond to
corticosteroid and colchicine therapy, but an excellent response to
synovectomy was achieved.
