Popis: Amyloidosis is a rare disease characterized by pathological protein deposits in organs or tissues. Breast involvement by amyloidosis is rare. We report a female patient with amyloidosis in the breast, with underlying multiple myeloma, which presents as a focal asymmetry on a screening mammogram and a low suspicious mass lesion by ultrasonography.
