Primary amyloidoma of the thoracic spine

Focal amyloidosis (amyloidoma) involving the vertebral spine without an underlying systemic disorder is rare. Only six cases been reported in the literature so far, one involving the cervical spine, the rest occurring in the thoracic region. We present a patient with amyloidoma involving the thoraci...
