Abstract:

Amyloidosis derived from abnormal extracellular fibril deposits may contribute to multiple organ dysfunctions. The recognition of amyloidosis-associated orofacial changes may be beneficial for early diagnosis. This retrospective study determined the characteristics of orofacial amyloidosis to aid in recognition of this disease. The study included 11 patients who visited Peking University School of Stomatology from 1993 to 2015 and were diagnosed with orofacial amyloidosis. The median age at onset, most commonly affected site, predominant oral feature of amyloidosis, and complications were presented. We concluded that the recognition of amyloidosis-associated orofacial changes may be beneficial for the diagnosis of amyloidosis and the discovery of underlying disease.
