Amyloidosis is a heterogeneous group of diseases with the most common form being systemic distribution. The least common type of the disease is tumor formation due to deposition which is called "amyloid tumor (amyloidoma)". Although such tumors can occur in any region of the body, extremity localization is fairly seldom. Here, we report the clinical and histopathological features of amyloidoma in an 81-year-old female patient who presented with a large rapidly growing mass in the left lower extremity.
淀粉样变性是一组异质性疾病,最常见的形式是全身性分布。该病最不常见的类型是由于沉积导致的肿瘤形成,称为“淀粉样瘤(淀粉样瘤)”。尽管这种肿瘤可以发生在身体的任何部位,但肢体定位相当少见。在这里,我们报告了一名 81 岁女性患者的临床和组织病理学特征,该患者左下肢出现了一个快速生长的巨大肿块。
