Received 5 July 2002; Accepted after revision 16 December 2002 Ochronosis, the musculoskeletal manifestation of alkaptonuria, is known to lead to degenerative changes of the spine and weight-bearing joints. Symptoms related to degeneration of tendons or ligaments with spontaneous ruptures have not previously been reported. Three patients are described with four spontaneous ruptures of either the patellar tendon or tendo Achillis as the first symptom of alkaptonuria. Alkaptonuria is a rare autosomal recessive metabolic disorder due to deficiency of the enzyme homogentisic acid oxidase which is involved in the metabolism of homogentisic acid, a metabolic product of the aromatic amino acids phenylalanine and tyrosine.1 The homogentisic acid which accumulates is polymerised to form a dark pigment which is deposited in connective tissues. The pigment is also selectively deposited in the hyaline cartilage of major peripheral joints and intervertebral discs leading to early degeneration and arthritis. Apart from pigmentation of the skin, sclera and the pinnae, systemic symptoms related to the genitourinary, cardiovascular and respiratory systems have also been described.2

Electron microscopy and roentgenographic microanalysis of deposited metal. Tanita Y, Kato T, Hanada K, Tagami H. Arch Dermatol 1985 Dec;121(12):1550-2 Abstract quote Acupuncture needles implanted in the skin for more than ten years caused peculiar bluish macules, each of which clinically resembled a blue nevus in the extremities of a 63-year-old Japanese woman. Histologically, the involved skin showed deposition of fine brownish granules in the basement membrane of the eccrine sweat glands, on the inner surface of the blood vessel walls, and along elastic fibers of the superficial dermis in addition to sparse deposits noted throughout the dermis. Electron microscopy revealed deposits of electron-dense particles on the basal lamina of the secretory coils of the eccrine sweat glands, below the basal lamina of the dermoepidermal junction, and on elastic fibers.

Two patients with generalized ochronosis developed cardiovascular symptoms related to cardiac ochronosis with aortic valvular stenosis. One patient with a transvalvular pressure gradient of 150 mm Hg underwent emergency aortic valve replacement. The other patient with a transvalvular pressure gradient of 96 mm Hg underwent successful elective aortic valve replacement.

W. Wyre Jr A 59-year-old woman with previously documented alkaptonuria was examined for extensive ochronosis of recent onset. The cause of the extensive skin pigmentations were thought to be secondary to decreased renal clearance of homogentisic acid because of a decline in the patient's renal function. If extensive or rapidly progressive skin pigmentation is noted in a patient with alkaptonuria, then evaluation of the patient's renal status should be
