Popis: Here we report an unusual case of primary systemic amyloidosis. The cutaneous lesions were polymorphic and included involvement of both external auditory canals. The visceral involvement was covert. Mapping of amyloid deposits was performed using scintigraphy with technetium-99m (V) dimercaptosuccinic acid ([99mTc (V)] DMSA). Therapy with melphalan, prednisone and colchicine resulted in considerable improvement.
