Abstract:
Primary solitary amyloidoma of the spine is a disease characterized by localized deposits of amyloid. We describe and illustrate the radiologic appearance of primary solitary amyloidoma of the spine on plain radiographs, CT scans, and MR images. The imaging findings revealed features of a nonspecific soft-tissue mass with calcifications. Epidural extension of the amyloidoma caused spinal cord compression.
