Tumor amiloide de mama

Primary amyloid tumour of the breast is an unusual disease and consequently, when suspected, the presence of other illnesses or systemic amyloidosis must be excluded. We report the case of a woman in whom mammography revealed 2 nodes with microcalcifications in the right breast. Biopsies showed amyloid deposits. The lesions were resected and the diagnosis of amyloid tumour was confirmed by pathological analysis. Subsequently, the patient has shown no local or systemic alterations, leading us to believe that the lesions were primary amyloid tumours. It is essential to conduct frequent follow-up visits to rapidly diagnose the appearance of other lesions.
