Involvement of the thyroid gland in systemic amyloidosis is known since 1855, most frequently histologic than clinical. We report here a case of systemic amyloidosis associated with myxedema and Hashimoto's thyroiditis which has been rarely reported in the literature, and may represent a new example of auto-immune diseases associated with systemic amyloidosis.
自1855年以来，甲状腺受累于系统性淀粉样变就已为人所知，组织学表现比临床症状更为常见。我们在此报告一例与黏液性水肿和桥本甲状腺炎相关的系统性淀粉样变病例，该病例在文献中鲜有报道，可能代表了与系统性淀粉样变相关的自身免疫性疾病的一个新例证。
