Five cases of amyloidosis involving structures in the oral cavity are reported. Three cases appeared to be secondary systemic amyloidosis, one case was the systemic form associated with multiple myeloma, and one case appeared to represent nodular or localized amyloidosis. All cases appeared in persons over 63 years of age, and the most common area of involvement was the tongue. The nature of so-called amyloid deposits in certain odontogenic tumors is discussed in light of recent knowledge of amelogenins and enamelins.
本文报告了5例累及口腔结构的淀粉样变性病例。其中3例似乎是继发性系统性淀粉样变性，1例是与多发性骨髓瘤相关的系统性形式，1例似乎代表结节性或局限性淀粉样变性。所有病例均出现在63岁以上的人群中，最常受累的部位是舌头。根据最近对釉原蛋白和釉蛋白的认识，讨论了某些牙源性肿瘤中所谓淀粉样沉积物的性质。
