Primary osseous amyloidoma - Report of two cases with review of the literature
Journal Title: Journal of Modern Human Pathology - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Amyloidoma, also known as tumoral amyloidosis, is a rare localized subset of amyloidosis without systemic involvement. Amyloid becomes aggregated in the extracellular matrix ofvarious tissues such as the respiratory, urinary, central nervous systems, heart, salivary glands, breast and orbital tissue. Very few cases of osseous amyloidosis have been reported in the literature, especially in the absence of systemic amyloidosis or dialysis. The two cases that follow describe such lesions which were identified in the bone.
