Soft-tissue amyloidoma. A case report.
A myloidoma of soft tissue is rare and there have been no previously published reports of limb involvement. We describe a case in which the tumour was present in the popliteal fossa. There was no evidence of systemic amyloid disease or of malignant neoplasm one year after the diagnosis.
