[A case of amyloidosis of peripheral arteries of the heart and liver in an elderly patient].
Cases of isolated cardiac amyloidosis and amyloidosis of the liver are seldom mentioned in the literature (Pitkänen et al., 1984). At the autopsy of a 85 years old woman we found a severe common arteriosclerosis, especially of the brain and heart. A pacemaker was regularly implanted. By staining with Kongo red there was histologically shown an isolated amyloidosis of the peripheral heart and liver arteries.
