Many questions about amyloidosis are still unanswered. Etiology and pathogenesis remain unclear. Diagnosis is difficult to prove without a biopsy. Several approaches have been tried, but no effective cure has been documented. Russian authors report the use of cobalt therapy for a patient with local laryngeal amyloidosis. This paper presents a case report of a patient with local amyloidosis of the conjunctiva. Superficial radiation therapy was used, and resulted in some shrinkage of the lesions. Surgical excision was later utilized to remove the remaining amyloid deposits.
关于淀粉样变性仍有许多问题未得到解答。病因和发病机制尚不清楚。没有活检很难确诊。已经尝试了几种方法,但尚无有效治愈的记录。俄罗斯作者报告了钴疗法用于一名局部喉淀粉样变性患者的情况。本文介绍了一名结膜局部淀粉样变性患者的病例报告。采用了浅表放射治疗,病变出现了一定程度的缩小。后来进行了手术切除以清除剩余的淀粉样沉积物。
