Ease of sutureless aortic valve replacement in a patient with unexpected ochronosis: a case report
Background Alkaptonuria is a rare congenital metabolic disorder characterized by homogentisic acid accumulation in body cartilage and connective tissues due to a deficient homogentisic acid dioxygenase enzyme.

The accumulation of homogentisic acid (HGA) in patients with alkaptonuria is associated with the concomitant deposition of pigments contain significant amounts of polymerised HGA (polyHGA) in the bodily tissues of the patients.
