A 54-year-old white male presented with a large suprahyoid midline mass. On thorough history and physical examination, he had features which characterize amyloidosis, including congestive heart failure and carpal tunnel syndrome. The classification, clinical findings, and associated syndromes are reviewed. A striking feature of the amyloid deposit is its rapid growth. Amyloidosis should now be considered in a differential diagnosis of a neck mass.
一名54岁的白人男性出现舌骨上中线处的巨大肿块。经过全面的病史询问和体格检查，他具有淀粉样变性的特征，包括充血性心力衰竭和腕管综合征。本文对淀粉样变性的分类、临床表现及相关综合征进行了综述。淀粉样沉积物的一个显著特征是其快速生长。现在，在颈部肿块的鉴别诊断中应考虑淀粉样变性。
