[An unusual case of generalized amyloidosis with localizations in the oral cavity]

After a brief examination of the most modern conceptions relating to amyloidosis desease a case of sistemic amyloidosis localized in the oral cavity is presented by the authors. An iconografic series of the lesions affecting the mucous membrane of the lips, checks and tongue is meant to contribute to an easier and immediate finding of analogous cases marked by a primary localization in the oral cavity, thus facilitating an early diagnosis of the sistemic desease.
