    This study reports two rare cases of oral amyloidosis with distinct oral symptoms, including gland swelling and an enlarged tongue causing malocclusion. Diagnosis was confirmed using advanced laboratory techniques.

    Area of Science:

    • Oral Medicine
    • Pathology
    • Nephrology

    Background:

    • Oral amyloidosis is a rare condition characterized by the deposition of amyloid protein in oral tissues.
    • Unusual oral manifestations can delay diagnosis, necessitating thorough investigation.

    Observation:

    • The first case presented with recurrent submandibular gland swelling and xerostomia, diagnosed via labial salivary gland biopsy.
    • The second case featured a significantly enlarged tongue causing dental malocclusion and chewing difficulties.

    Findings:

    • Both cases were confirmed using electron microscopy and Congo red staining.
    • Serum and urine electrophoresis supported the amyloidosis diagnosis in both patients.

    Implications:
