Abstract:
We report the case of an 83-year-old woman who developed a lymphoplasmacytoid lymphoma of the salivary glands with extension to the skin of the cheeks and laterocervical area. The most remarkable feature was the massive amyloid deposition that gave the cutaneous lesions a distinctive clinical appearance, similar to that observed in cases of nodular cutaneous amyloidosis. An IgM-lambda paraprotein was also detected in the serum.
