RESUMEN
La amiloidosis primaria de afectación mamaria es una dolencia infrecuente, por lo que, ante su aparición, debemos descartar la existencia de otras enfermedades o la amiloidosis visceral difusa. Presentamos el caso de una paciente en cuya mamografía de control se identifican 2 nódulos con microcalcificaciones en la mama derecha. Las biopsias muestran alteraciones compatibles con depósito de amiloide. Se procede a la resección de las mismas, cuyo análisis de anatomía patológica confirma que se trata de un tumor amiloide. En los controles posteriores no ha presentado ninguna alteración local ni sistémica, lo que nos lleva a pensar que se trata de una amiloidosis primaria. Es de gran relevancia mantener revisiones periódicas para permitirnos diagnosticar precozmente la aparición de otras lesiones (AU)
ABSTRACT
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 (AU)
