| Section 1 – Quiz | |  |
A 73-year-old man had been long-term followed at the clinic due to metabolic and cardiovascular disease. Treadmill exercise electrocardiography was arranged to assess the cardiac function. However, he failed to complete the examination due to bilateral posterior ankle pain. Physical examination revealed bilateral Achilles tendons swelling and tenderness. The patient stated that he had this condition for more than 40 years and could be reduced after taking the analgesics. The following ultrasound images showed the transverse and longitudinal views of the bilateral Achilles tendons [Figure 1]. What is your impression? | Figure 1: Gross appearance and ultrasound images of bilateral Achilles tendons.

Arrowhead: A soft yellowish mass at posterior ankle; Arrow: Some hyperechoic spots within right Achilles tendon under ultrasonography
