Amyloidosis consists of a spectrum of disease ranging from primary localized forms to secondary forms due to systemic disease. Amyloidoma, a variant of localized amyloidosis, is the least frequent manifestation of tissue amyloid deposition, which can be either amyloid A (AA) or amyloid light-chain (AL) type. Soft tissue amyloidoma is uncommon and mostly affects the abdomen and mediastinum and rarely affects the extremities. We present a middle-aged woman who developed a tumor-like swelling in the extremity, in which comprehensive investigations revealed features of primary amyloidosis with no evidence of internal involvement, representing a rare presentation.
淀粉样变性是一系列疾病,范围从原发性局限性形式到由全身性疾病引起的继发性形式。淀粉样瘤是局限性淀粉样变性的一种变体,是组织淀粉样沉积最不常见的表现形式,可为淀粉样蛋白A(AA)型或轻链淀粉样蛋白(AL)型。软组织淀粉样瘤并不常见,主要累及腹部和纵隔,很少累及四肢。我们报告一名中年女性,其四肢出现肿瘤样肿胀,综合检查显示为原发性淀粉样变性特征,无内部受累证据,这是一种罕见的表现。
