Orofacial amyloidosis—unusual presentation of a rare condition: A case report
ABSTRACT
Orofacial amyloidosis is an extremely rare and generally a benign condition. In contrast to systemic amyloidosis, other organs are not involved; however, extensive investigations are recommended to intercept any systemic involvement. Diagnosis is confirmed by histological examination and Congo red staining. This condition does not have a known etiology, and hence no general consensus exists regarding its management. We are presenting a case of a 65‐year‐old female patient with orofacial amyloidosis having ocular and extensive oral involvement. (Source: Special Care in Dentistry)
