[Generalized amyloidosis associated with Hashimoto's thyroiditis and hypothyroidism].
Involvement of the thyroid gland in systemic amyloidosis is known since 1855, most frequently histologic than clinical. We report here a case of systemic amyloidosis associated with myxedema and Hashimoto's thyroiditis which has been rarely reported in the literature, and may represent a new example of auto-immune diseases associated with systemic amyloidosis.
