Abstract:
Amyloidosis is a rare systemic disease caused by extracellular deposition of insoluble protein. Systemic amyloidosis is subclassified into idiopathic primary and secondary form. The cause of secondary amyloidosis includes tuberculosis, familial Mediterranean fever, rheumatoid arthritis and multiple myeloma. We report a case of tuberculosis-related, secondary systemic amyloidosis which involved liver, spleen, kidneys, stomach, urinary bladder and lymph nodes.
