摘要
A case of primary systemic amyloidosis presenting as bilateral breast masses is described. The mammographic appearance was of multiple ill-defined masses associated with clustered microcalcifications simulating carcinoma. This is the first case of amyloid of breast reported in the radiological literature. Other available literature of breast involvement in systemic amyloidosis is reviewed.
