[Type AA renal amyloidosis in sarcoidosis].
Sarcoidosis is an uncommon cause of secondary amyloidosis. We describe in this paper the case of a 39 years old patient, with a pulmonary and hepatosplenic sarcoidosis. A nephrotic syndrome led to a renal biopsy which showed AA type amyloidosis. As no other cause of amyloidosis has been found we admitted that it was a result of sarcoidosis which was associated with the unusual inflammatory syndrome.
