We describe a patient with inflammatory arthritis of the knee and ankle secondary to metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma to the joints and bone diagnosed by synovianalysis. Arthritis secondary to metastatic cancer is a poor prognostic sign. The diagnosis is based on a strong clinical suspicion, magnetic resonance imaging, and joint fluid cytology or synovial biopsy. %U https://www.jrheum.org/content/jrheum/30/12/2713.full.pdf
