Abstrakt: This article discusses a case report of a fifty-eight-year-old woman with primary systemic amyloidosis, a rare condition characterized by the accumulation of amyloid protein in various organs. The patient presented with multiple skin lesions, including papules on the eyelids, nose, and ears, as well as alterations in the tongue and fingers. Dermoscopic examination and histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of primary systemic amyloidosis. Further investigations revealed additional symptoms, such as anemia, renal disease, cardiac involvement, and motor neuropathy. The patient was managed symptomatically and is under regular follow-up. The article emphasizes the importance of thoroughly investigating cases of systemic amyloidosis to determine the extent of organ involvement and predict the disease's course and outcome.
