Case Report

Tropiano Paolo, Agostini Giova

Abstract

Amyloidosis is a sistemic disease characterized by accumulation in the extracellular and perivascular spaces of insoluble fibrillar proteins (amyloid), which determines the impairment of the function of the affected tissues. Clinically it can mimic conditions. In the case report we reported the case of a clinical overlap with Sjögren's syndrome.
